DAD, ALL THAT I AM, I OWE TO YOU MY REAL-LIFE SUPERHERO
N o matter how tall we grow, we always look up to our fathers. Dads aren’t just who helped create us — they’re who we want to be when we grow up. For me, this proved to be true in 1992 when I was 12 years old. It was the first time I was able to see my dad in action in the courtroom, and it wasn’t for just any old case — this was for the Rodney King trial, and it was by far the coolest, most inspiring, and intriguing thing I had ever seen. I was on the edge of my seat, soaking it all in: the way he moved, the way he handled himself in the courtroom, the way he spoke, the way he questioned witnesses, and the way he told stories. He was captivating and magnificent — he is my dad. I recall him grabbing a baton that was one of the trial exhibits and watching as he slapped it into his palm while delivering his opening speech. He created a rhythm as he spoke, elevating the tension in the courtroom even higher than it already was for this high-profile case. At that moment, while I sat there as a 12-year-old boy, I knew I wanted to be an attorney. There is a video on our website of my father’s closing statements in this case, and somehow, they located me in the audience in this moment of pure adoration for my father as I soaked it all in and decided the path I wanted to take for a career. As a child, I was always interested in the law and was concerned with justice and fairness. I wanted equality for all, and as my father is the best criminal defense trial attorney in Southern California, I often
heard him discuss the law. But after this moment, my calling was so clear. I was destined to follow in my dad’s footsteps.
My father has mentored me ever since I was young, with my mind set on becoming a lawyer. Especially throughout law school and becoming a public defender, he stood by my side, guiding me and prepping me. The more I learned in my studies and experiences, the more I understood what my dad does and why he does it. It became clearer to me just how amazing he is at his job. It’s the best thing in the world to look up to your father in this way. He’s always been a huge inspiration for me. To this day, he still takes on cases. He loves the work of it — the storytelling and putting the puzzle pieces together captivate him, and I’ve adapted this passion from him. This Father’s Day, I thank him for sharing his love for a law career with me and for being the best dad!

It’s summertime, which means your kids are out of school and at home during their break. This is an exciting time because you get to spend more time with your children, but it can also be stressful. Since your kids are not engaged in school every day with their peers, you may have to find ways to keep them entertained during the summer. Luckily, there are a few activities your children can do to stay busy and active while they’re on summer break. VIsit your local library. Make a habit of visiting your local library once a week for your children to pick out books they can read. You can challenge them to see how many books they can complete over the summer. Although your child may read educational books for school, now is their time to pick out something they want to read just for fun. Some libraries offer summer reading programs and activities that your child can participate in. By going to the library over the summer, your child’s mind will stay engaged, and their love for reading can increase. Go to local attractions. In most states, there are history and science museums, art galleries, and zoos that you and your children can visit. If these attractions are state- funded, they often have free admission for visitors. These activities are great if your child is a visual learner. They can touch and interact with exhibits and learn more about history or science. Who said learning couldn’t be both fun and educational? SCHOOL’S OUT! WHAT CAN YOU DO? 4 ACTIVITIES TO KEEP YOUR KIDS BUSY
Create a craft station . Do you have creative children? Then a craft station is a perfect activity to get their creative minds turning! You can either go to your big-box store and pick up some arts and crafts supplies, or you can use items from around your home, such as used printer paper, toilet paper rolls, old colored pencils or crayons, and items from nature. If you need inspiration on what to make, you can look online for different crafts your child can create. Visit parks and recreation areas. Summer camps can be expensive; luckily, some parks and recreation centers host day camps that are much cheaper than private camps. Sometimes they will have daily activities that your child can participate in to burn off some energy. If you’re looking for a place where your children can play outside and stay active, going to your local parks is a great resource. If they aren’t hosting day camps, you and your children can play outside by throwing a Frisbee, having a picnic, or going on a nature walk.
Summer is an exciting time, and with these activities, you and your child can spend some quality time together!

Galicia, Spain Galicia is a bit of a hidden gem — not many people go
there because it is a little wetter and greener than other regions, but we had so much fun at different beaches. There are tons of tiny bays and inlets, and there are many huge rock formations up and down the coastlines. Most of the beaches even have white sand, which is gorgeous.
