This year at Mayfair I decided to create an award for those who are the true embodiment of leadership. Leadership means a great many things. To some it is motivation and to others it is inspiration. It is someone who has a vision and takes action to make it happen and it is also someone who serves those that they lead. A leader is a multifaceted person to say the very least. This award is very special to me because it is inspired by a very important person and leader in my life, my father. He started as someone with humble beginnings in Mexico who came here to find and live the American Dream like so many others. He worked his way up and started his own business. Unfortunately, like many other small businesses, it came to a close. He had a wife and a family so he went back to the drawing board and realized that what he was truly passionate about was leadership and motivation. He created a new business in which he has now held hundreds of seminars all over the country and even in Mexico to teach others how to lead and succeed in all their endeavors. He has also recorded audio CDs and has written 2 books to date. I was raised with all of those teachings. I have watched him work from sunrise to sundown and sacrifice so much to provide for us and for so many others. He always greets us with a smile on his face and is always there to support my siblings and I in all that we do. I carry his words with me every day and I aspire to be at least half the teacher that he is. I am very proud to have had my dad there with me to present the very first Hector Gonzalez Leadership Award. Gracias por todo Papá, te quiero mucho ❤️ (at The Grand Long Beach)

Words fail to describe the past few days. It’s been a long journey of 4 years to get these performers to Dayton and it still feels so surreal that we were even there at all. Watching them go out there and have their best run yet was so overwhelming and I was brought to tears by their beauty and their strength, I couldn’t have asked for more. So grateful to have shared this experience with my Mayfair babies and the beautiful ladies and staff of Bellflower High School. We had such an incredible time soaking it all in together. We have 1 more weekend to share your love for the art with the world! Mayfair Varsity 2018, you have my heart ❤️ #loveisnotblind #mhsvarsityguard #MayFlower #guardinstructorlife (at Dayton, Ohio)

2017: A year of immense growth. During the winter Mayfair had 3 teams and Santa Fe had 2... so I designed 5 shows! Started teaching at Fountain Valley High School. Taught an amazing group of kids over the summer at BDB with my best friends, got to watch a student of mine march and win his first year with the Blue Devils, watched another dear student age out with Pacific Crest, and experienced my best friend’s last encore run from the field. Moved in with the love of my life AND my best friend. Adulting is hard but easier with the people you love. I’ve finally reached the last year with my first set of four year students at Santa Fe and Mayfair. So bittersweet. Santa Fe had their best year ever during the fall, Fountain Valley won High Auxiliary at WBA Champs, and Mayfair won High Auxiliary at CSBC Grand Champs! Thank you to my staff, you are amazing people I can’t live without. Signed Mayfair’s Varsity up for WGI Championships. It’s going to be a wild ride. Working at Lush again has been more wonderful than the first time, I’m always learning more. The last few days of 2017 have been spent with my loved ones and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to see what 2018 is going to bring ❤️ #2017bestnine

A great weekend comes to an end and I’m still processing the great things my students accomplished on Saturday 😌 Congratulations to my Santa Fe crazies for placing 3rd in Auxiliary at the Glen A. Wilson Golden State Tournament and to my Mayfair babies for taking 1st in Auxiliary in parade, field, and combined at the Mt. Carmel Tournament of Bands! ❤️#guardinstructorlife
