It’s Friday morning, I head to my first and last class of the week, University 198. I have no idea what I should be expecting in it being a college course, because I  always expect for the worst. Well to my thrill It wasn’t bad unless you consider going through history right before you eyes to be horrible. Well to my liking we as a class were reading letters, postcards, as well as telegrams to Congressman Bizz Johnson during the Vietnam war. As citizen of the US expressed both their concerns and approval of the matter. Many of the articles in which I read were from 1972 where majority of the public were against the war and wanted troops to be drawn back.

It was interesting to see that not only are mothers and women of the troops against the war but actual veterans and active troops as well. There was a note that I had stumbled upon from a World War Two Veteran that was completely calling out on the governments  humanity and moral. Stating “where is your hear where is your mind” completely defacing the Military stating himself that he is ashamed of the Military and congress for allowing the war to progress. He then continues to place all blame on the United States, saying that we were in the wrong from the start of this war. It is so interesting to see just how someone not too long was defending our country and trained to be patriotic and then so against US involvement.

Along with some of the more serious and emotional letters send out there was also quite a few angry civilians who didn’t even bother putting there names on  their post cards, because they just wanted to get their point across being that they were just so angry with the injustice taking place.

Hello, my name is Hugo Ortiz and I graduated from Ventura College in 2011 with my ADN.  After passing the boards, I was hired at Sierra Vista Family Medical Clinic, a VCMC-affiliated ambulatory clinic in Simi Valley, as a back office supervisor.  At the time, I supervised a team of thirteen medical assistants, three LVNs, and two phlebotomists for about six months before being promoted to Nursing Supervisor.  As Nursing Supervisor, I headed the new case management program with at team of three registered nurses.  Currently, I case manage all Coumadin and Hepatitis C patients, as well as supervise the RN case managers. Other duties include interviewing, hiring, training, and disciplining staff, as well as providing the nurses and back office supervisor with their yearly evaluations/reviews. Eventually, I’d like to become a Nurse Practitioner and work as a family provider at Sierra Vista Clinic.  My two big hobbies include concerts (I try to catch as many as I can) and electronics (gadgets, phones, tablets, computers, game consoles…yes, I’m pretty nerdy).  I also love spending time with my godson who is currently learning to drive, and my dog who I didn’t want at first but can’t live without now.
