Last week, my son Andrew Samaniego received a phone from the City of Yucaipa.
"We would like you to come to our City Council meeting on Monday and please wear your "Eagle Scout" Uniform." said the City Staff Member.
Although we where curious why the City wanted him to wear a boy scout uniform, as a scouting parent you are kinda used to having to attend many different functions where your son needs to wear a uniform.
Well, last night came around and we noticed a few other high school students at the City Council meeting.
A few minutes later, Mayor Hoyt of Yucaipa had announced the next item on the agenda was the appointment of the new Yucaipa Youth Commission members for the next 12 months for the City of Yucaipa.
Andrew was one of the students that had been appointed on the Yucaipa Youth Commission, to deal with and discuss youth issues with the City Council.
Is this the beginning of a bigger vision of his in serving in public office?
Maybe?
I know his primary goal right now is to be accepted into the United States Naval Academy and becoming an officer in either the Navy or Marines.
They world is oyster to accomplish whatever he decides to do.
I am extremely proud of this young man and his motivation to accomplish his goals.
Dad
