So welcome everyone to another interview of how I learned Arabic stories And I'm here joined by my brother Rashid Al Madaniyu. Masha'Allah So you guys know how it goes You know, I bring you guys people who went from not knowing Arabic to knowing Arabic and And Yeah, man He's always beneficial to hear stories for those who are you know at the point where they are willing to learn Arabic But you know they get anxious on how it's gonna happen and this and that so I kind of bring you guys a little bit of an insight of How it is to go from not knowing Arabic to knowing Arabic So first of all I would like our brother Rashid to to to introduce himself and tell us a little bit about He's upbringing and you know a little bit about you really Okay This is your brother in Islam Rashid Al Madaniyu. Alhamdulillah that Allah blessed me To be with you guys to be to be in the company of brother Muhammad I do hope that the name is Curly for now so I have half of the Quran Alhamdulillah by the age of eight I finished memorizing the Quran even when I didn't know in my own language, so Allah bless me with that. Alhamdulillah Later on I have since this session between the age of eight and ten in Haram and Nabawi in Medina and Went back to Bangladesh did my five years of GCSE study or we could say that it is elementary school study after the primary And later on I came back to study my Sanawiyah, which is equivalent to a level That was in Arabic medium The one that I did in Bangladesh in Bengali medium where the language is included English Bengali and Arabic But the medium of teaching was Bengali so later on when I went back to Medina. Alhamdulillah. I studied in Sanawiyah While I was studying it in Arabic So For the Then of course these were just What it was the A levels in Sanawiyah, but later on in the jamma the out we also Subjects even in the deeper level because elements of our language in Sanawiyah varies It comes to the elements of learning Arabic Ungraduated college level Alhamdulillah Also with the group studies it was Focused only in Arabic even if you were to say anything in our own language you would have been sold out by the teacher And they encouraged us and encouraged as well. Alhamdulillah, even if we made me say Digital matters, you know, they said and they were something like Laugh at us when we are even making mistakes talking in Arabic language. So that was rather Encouraging for not only me but also this too is that I was I was surrounded by Alhamdulillah so currently here Imam in Ireland Alhamdulillah as well as Khatil as well as teachers of the Quran and Arabic Alhamdulillah for both adults as well as children In Ireland Alhamdulillah, which is the rule of parts of our language Masha'Allah Okay, Alhamdulillah Okay, so That was a really, you know That was a lot of information in the in the introduction already Alhamdulillah for that and so I wanted to ask you because You was telling me that That you kind of Learned Arabic a little bit in a in a natural way like, you know, your father Had the the opportunity to bring you guys to to Medina So obviously, you know, I can tell you that that when you are young you are a sponge Hello, can you hear me? Sorry, you were saying that my parents brought me to Medina from there I couldn't hear because the connection was locked. Okay, so so your your your parents brought you to Medina and And obviously you were young so and we know that when we young we kind of absorb everything super fast so how was your your process of of You know, no, not knowing Arabic until you were actually to you know, just literally conversate You know in the in the in the Medina dialect What was like the time frame? How Sorry, how was my process to what from there? Connection was rather poor. Yeah, what was your process from not knowing Arabic until you was able to conversate as a You know as a second language or at least really fluent well The thing that I was doing at my young when I was young There have been moments where you know, well, you know, I would cry literally when people laugh at me while I'm making a mistake however, there was no like Basic support from my parents as there was something called nationalism in our family, but later on Alhamdulillah opened their hearts and They started giving me some books that are Excuse me that are in Arabic, Alhamdulillah, so I started practicing them even when I was young Even though it was like a basic level because this the background that I came from There was an emphasis that if you don't learn English if you don't go through the secular studies Take a little style of education that you will have no dignity. You would have no respect in the world. No reputation No, sure or whatever Whatever the thing that they feed you when you are young No, the when I memorized the Quran that really gave them something You know that yeah, at least the Sun would be able to do something for us when he is old At least through the knowledge of Quran So that in person or that opening heart from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to my parents Let her encourage me to do something especially the basic Arabic Alphabet if I may say even though I was quite late to do the prompt education the word Memorizing it in a way or as you rightly said that I was fed So a memory of my memory in a way that I couldn't even imagine So between the age of eight and an age of 13, I would rather say Things were not as bumpy as people would assume And the latter, you know, I was really into a writing Arabic as well as reading Arabic and That really supported me the process that parents were constantly Looking up looking for me and making sure that I'm doing what they hope Would be best for me in terms of being Propagator of al-iflah. So that is something That wanted me to be So they made sure that whatever the things that are necessary, you know They were provided even when I was in Bangladesh as well because there were teachers who were keen to support me a lot as my father was rather Supporting and he didn't leave any door open For me not to learn Arabic even from that young lady, especially being good in Good being good in a thought So, yes, whatever the books that were needed even in the Bali language They were those were provided to me by my father, especially Alhamdulillah It really helped me from the young age to be in love with Arabic language Primarily, I would also say that Quran is something in Arabic that even if people do not speak Arabic They have the basic of Arabic As Allah says Quran and Arabic In detail Quran in Arabic so that you may comprehend No, the part of that comprehend comprehension. I believe personally and Allah knows best that going through the Nahoo and also Al-Arabi al-Adab al-Arabi the Arab literature in thought as well as in Nahoo Particularly in Nahoo when we're going through examples, there were verses of the Quran put into practice Yeah, so verses Okay, here we go find out what is the grammatical this that I had that practice from the very young age and it was continued until even after my undergraduate education Yeah, I think I mean definitely memorizing the Quran. It does give you a lot of vocabulary That when you then come to a book and see for example, Sayyara or You know All of this stuff is always it's always. Oh, yeah, that's like a ha moment a ha moment like they say in In America, I don't know if you guys say that in in the UK. I've been asking for brothers Moments, they don't understand Okay, so so Was your well, I think for you it was a little bit different because it was your parents kind of thing who pushed you but was there any any type of turning point or something that happened in in in your life that Made you or your parents say, okay, he needs to go ahead and learn Arabic now I remember my dad to be really anxious Okay, because There was a moment I was losing Arabic as well due to you know, when someone goes through a teen more teenage part between the age of 12 and 17 there was a moment where I had some you know down bits if I may say Like I was going down and I was totally off the track from my excellence in Arabic language even at that age so I Had to take a study break and my family was rather quite supportive because of that because I need to I had to pull myself together even at that age So I had to wait for a year or two as I as far as I can remember So later on, you know, it was my dad who was so hopeful and so passionate and so Emotional in terms of me learning the Arabic the only thing that he could think of Was going back to Medina the way that I was young and I was led a lot, you know conversation Arabic but Later, and I'm good at that brought me back in Alhamdulillah By the way, he still isn't with him. Alhamdulillah. I said the good thing that I still want to I Still, you know, take pride in So It is kind of what I love because of the dua man and that's why I was brought me back to Medina And I remember that as soon as I just entered the Medina. Well, I think that's when I just put off the play the Feeling that I had at that time was totally different It was like, you know Wait, I didn't have this feeling As soon as I went back to Bangladesh when I was like 10 years old Now that same feeling that I lost The feelings the feeling And from there, you know onwards Alhamdulillah, it was like an easy right Literally an easy right for me. All I had to do is just practice what I lost and you know, you know, refresh my memory In terms of reading the Quran first and foremost then I'm going through things like Nahu again Again Arabic literature, then of course Hussur al-Hadeed And all these things I Found them to be easy. Why because Allah blessed me to be in this party in Medina. Alhamdulillah brought me back and of course You know, I Have regret I have regret because when I was in Bangladesh, I had you know, I had moments where I totally lost that fact So coming back to that track again The best place was to be in Medina as you know, Allah blessed me to be there Was a kind of what he called a changing moment in a whole life really and since then Alhamdulillah, you know Things were really super easy You know Quran was in my heart. Alhamdulillah. What often I may have revised and also Contemplation What do I mean by that? You know, Allah says in the Quran So the book that will reveal to you or Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam So that they contemplate on these On his signs Now if I just talk the word Yadab Of course, we have you know, I went through the teachings of Nahu there and I also put The thinking of surf there and many other things just to understand what you have Nahu there You have surf there then also you have the greater You know understanding surrounding this This word so it was like wait a second. It seems that comes back Subhanallah Well, I need to do that. Remember when I had these thoughts even it now we just go to the sujood Allah So I was like really shouldn't leave it but they found Alhamdulillah For the purpose of Da'wa for the purpose of being mom over here. I have been in Europe for like last 10 years But those moments if I compared the good and bad, you know, really, you know No No, thank you. So in terms of learning the Arabic language, what was the actual practical practical method That you used once you you actually got into classes and You know in the formal quote-unquote way of study Hmm, I think First and foremost Listening and paying attention to what is being said I was there. Alhamdulillah. That was the main thing because my learning style is this is whatever I hear I say That's the good thing the way that for example, I'm talking English now in a British I didn't have this in British accent when I was talking in English. So Like, you know, when you have like podcast or audio clips that you hear or when you see people are talking You are so attentive and you are listening to how things are being said That is what helped me and one of the ways because when I was doing Oolah, San'awee, then I remember in the Oolah, San'awee, I was struggling to an extent. I remember even failing Helps of teachers and friends. I found that so The element of listening attentively something Enough I was there was a bit of trouble in terms of, you know, not having the haraq up in the words in the books that we were reading Because you know, the Quran is with haraqa No, I didn't to go mad Shadda and everything That I learned when I was when I memorized the Quran So that is struggling later on became easier whenever I was listening to the teacher in the San'awee, in Marhala, San'awee And I was putting the haraqat if necessary because sometimes, you know at the end of the word, you don't know what haraqat would be there That is what I was paying attention to and of course, it was really good The extreme efforts that I remember putting was in the book of An-Nahruh Mm-hmm in the book of An-Nahruh as well as the second comes Al-Adab Al-Arabi So these are the things That made me understand and made me, you know Talk the way that they were talking because it was like first It was not like, you know, colloquial Arabic or the local accent that we would use that is something No, I believe the special learners of Arabic we should pay attention to so So that was in San'awee, you said? Yes, in San'awee I'm talking about Alhamdulillah in the second year of San'awee, later on things became easy and I was With you know, I was extremely confident. I'm not being sensible I think this is what I was, this is who I was at that time and Alhamdulillah Later on I became, you know in the college you have that a group of You know people that would make sure that disciplines don't break and disciplines don't go So I was in that as well Because of my extreme efforts in learning Arabic and I started talking to anyone I started talking to anyone even Even if I of course I didn't have mistakes, but Alhamdulillah was in the level that I was 80% good in Arabic So, so what was the book you guys studied in the San'awee or was it just? Was it just that the book of of the uni? Not sure, I think the book that were of the syllabus. I can't remember SubhanAllah Really, it was like long time ago. I'm sorry. No because many many times as well. They have just They don't even have a actual known book like for example, I don't know when I was in San'awee in Al-Azhar We used to do Shar-Hibna Akheel And we used to do Al-Feeh Abnamalik as well. So it was You know like you can talk it. Yeah, that's the book we study in but in other in other universities They just really use the You know, whatever whatever they have put together from for themselves, you know They have a teacher Arabic teacher and he just puts together a bunch of books I think that might be the case maybe in in Medina because was it was it the San'awee in in Jami'a Islami What's the name? Jami'a Islami'a Bil Medina, was it that same one? Yeah, same one. That's the thing. Okay. That's what I was gonna say You know Jami'a Islami'a Bil Medina Munawwara. It has three branches. What one you have the Hadith al-Madaniyah for Shoa'batiha The second one is Mahad Islami that is within the campus of the Islamic University and the third one was the Hadith al-Madaniyah That is in Mecca three of them Yeah, under the Islamic University of Medina and there is something that we need to pay attention here Normal San'awee study in Saudi Arabia is under wuzarat al-Turbia wa ta'alib Mm-hmm. Whereas our San'awee is under wuzarat al-Ta'alim al-Aali wuzarat al-Turbia wa ta'alim means Ministry of upbringing and education whereas our study was under the ministry of higher education So even from the San'awee level you coming from that you had that extreme upbringing extreme, you know Uh, some level of teaching in the higher level socially So the book that we had was uh by the ministry of higher education would have been different and it was different Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the book uh are different in comparison to the books that are for the students under the ministry of upbringing and uh, education You understand what i'm coming from Al-Turbia or the books that traditionally Nowadays the the people are advised especially the people who are from the western part of the world Were not there at the time. It was like kind of additional subject if the students feel to do that It's like uh, uh, no, I feel if I may say so But the books actually The books the books that were taught by the teachers were different in terms of uh, what we know Like uh, it is true that when you go to, uh, help or help them to like, you know Learning things in a Like memorizing points really. Yeah, it would have been easier Sometimes, uh, what do you call? Uh, it shouldn't have been that easy. I personally didn't do I didn't do that the only only love that I had was uh The book of However, she did still learning how to memorize that just to you know Masha'Allah Thanks. So while learning the Arabic language, right? And and I'm pretty sure that what we actually Slightly spoke about this, but do you have any can you remember any Main aha moment when you was where you was like oh subhan Allah like Yeah, this is uh You know like that that aha moment if you know what I mean Like me for example when I was uh when I started learning Arabic I was like You know, we went through the process of of learning the tasrifat. We just we're just focusing on learning tasrifat The how we have we eat have I can I could cool, uh, you know, all of this tasrifat and then When uh, when I was learning when I came to the verb, uh Ghafira yagfiru Iqfir And I memorized the word and then the next prayer I went to the next salat that I prayed I was like, I was like You know the The verb or the command the amr for ghafira and then everything basically starts making sense So that was one of my aha moments. Do you have any uh any moment like this? what Funny enough that when it came to the dua the way that you had this moment I had Coincidence I had these moments too as well because whenever I used to listen to the dua as I was really frequent Gover to the haram and never we especially during the month of Ramadan I had these moments Subhanallah, I really had these moments uh As I mentioned earlier that I was going through the serf as you know Imagine in Bangladesh style if I may say uh, like a uh additional point that we had to memorize this And so on and so forth Whereas I didn't find this in Saudi Arabia However, when I went through these words, hey Wait a second. I do remember learning these words This is slightly, you know, different. So I did have these moments quite a lot rather No But on the top of my head Apart from this, I don't know. Uh, I don't remember currently any other things But yeah, quite often it was related to the serf because the method of methodology used uh to teach uh me The serf as well as Nahouf We had these things. Alhamdulillah, you know, uh covered and I did have a lot of aha moments if I may say No, it's just that I remember This one no Taif so I had these moments when uh, when I'm used to the said way He's raising it or he raises it So I did have I did have these moments especially in terms of, uh, mudhara Mudhara a lot in terms of modern Mabi No Taif so So obviously right now you have been living in the UK for 10 years, I would say Right That's what you said. So, um Yeah, so, you know, Arabic language he tends in terms of the conversational Uh level he tends to You know So what would you say without being humble without being humble right now even though in Arabic? What would you say your conversational skills are from one to 10? I would say 10 Without any resolution, I would say 10 Wallahi, I would say 10 Because because Alhamdulillah You know as soon as it came to the UK You know first I went to the university education over here that I did human resource management and the marketing which is totally off Of the thread that I was on totally business It is joint honors double Double major there So when I was studying, of course, I had students from different backgrounds, especially the languages that I knew So besides Bengali, which is my mother tongue. I knew Arabic. I knew Urdu and of course English was the medium when I was When I started living in the UK So I started hanging around also with the friends that are from Saudi Arabia Because I was living there I didn't lose that Arabic language since then and also First time in my life Tell you this and this is something really shocking. I haven't done while I was in Medina As well as in Bangladesh. I haven't delivered Khutbah for Jumu'ah anywhere in the world until I came to the UK So I remember I gave it to Arabic in English and in Bengali as well three languages In one khutbah one single khutbah Yeah, that's a boosted my confidence and since then Alhamdulillah when I was you know giving a khutbah I was really really passionate even like, you know, no Sorry, you cut off You said, you know things in arab Even there's things reading in arabic. I was Alhamdulillah really good at it. So Alhamdulillah, so um So what do you think is the hardest part of learning arabic? The hardest part of learning in arabic is that when uh Primarily if I say that things are not on the right place Okay When I say things are not in the right place. I mean Is this that priorities are mixed up Like from the perspective perspective of an english-speaking person Exactly exactly You know first, you know one thing I learned let's tell you something here and it is applicable even to us muslims as well Alhamdulillah that when I came to the UK I had to go through an analysis self analysis What what do I mean by that? First, you need to discover yourself in terms of what Ways that you can learn things. What are you good at? What are you bad at? And later on act upon those things that will take you to the desired destination If it is the English for example, I will give you the English English perspective My English is better because I remember downloading bbci player when I was in the UK And of course I had to put the subtitles on In terms of reading it and listening to how things are pronounced. This is me Visual learning as well or you know audio learning So what were the subtitles in what language were the subtitles? The subtitles in my mind Oh, okay, the title was in English The title was in English too as well. Okay, but you need to read it to read Exactly So I know that in Arabic language things have not been developed in that way yet, but there is alhamdulillah. There are alhamdulillah Nowadays I have seen that you have Arabic programs being watched by the Arabic subtitle as well So this is good The only thing is that that in Arabic language when we see the subtitles there are no harakas. That is the hiccup to do The it is still there so First the person who is a non-arabic speaker needs to know What are the good ways and writing things down that yeah, this is what I'm this is what I'm better If these good ways that can be utilized to learn the arabic well, alhamdulillah, I should use that So this is the priority from the priority perspective that yeah, let me try this I believe that I would succeed inshallah and confidence would come only if you know That if you know yourself better than anyone else, of course, the people to help you If the helps are worthy, alhamdulillah take those helps and later on try to apply for those things And rather than jumping everywhere in terms of learning Arabic like, you know, there are some people who are so hyped so hyped Like hyperactive, I would say But hey, think Apply those steps that you think would be successful to do To learn the arabic Okay, then take a step slowly arabic is something well, alhamdulillah. I can say that it is hard to forget and also The person needs to be really patient Rather than being carried away Anthony So yes, these are my advice that I would I would give to the people who would go for learning arabic inshallah No type so So right now Well, obviously it's been a long time that you know arabic now, but what we think For someone who who or even you can tell for yourself Maybe but from not knowing arabic to knowing arabic What we what will you say is how big of an impact it has into someone's life Islamically if I may say so it changed me a lot. Why because Love lets me to understand the words of the Quran even at the later Alhamdulillah, you know when I go for the last couple of years or There I say for the last five six years You know when I deliver a talk for example to a group of people or let's say we are having a conversation on certain topic Things come to my mind. Why because I understand them So when people understand these things it would automatically change the person from bad to good no matter what Amazing thing is that Allah shows arabic language for the Quran. So when we speak arabic wallahi Even if you are not happy of Quran You you would remember. Hey, there are some words these are the words that I'm saying Some of them are also in the Quran And quite often people forget that yeah arabic The arabic grammar or things like that are derived from the Quran because there was a time During the sahaba we noticed that people were reading it wrong and later on we know that it was a I mean a little bit probably but the law and it came up with this nahoo The nahoo book or those people who were making sure that things are not read wrongly so Even if you're not happy the Quran you remember. Hey, I understand this word Understand this I'm do I need to make sure that I don't go off the track I need to make sure that I'm on the right track. I'm on the good part Even if you are like not studying arabic. No, and it's taking Quran here. I need to say something like Quranic arabic this arabic that arabic I don't I don't know I personally find is really odd No, and bizarre as well Okay, there is no such thing that you know you learn the Quranic arabic Is that is that and then of the arabic is arabic is a language Allah chose for the Quran. That's it now Everyone it has just different accents What it is in the Quran. Allah says Khalku min ayati, khalku as-salawat wa l-arbi Dillahu al-sinatikum wa al-wanikum. No, so difference in tongue is there And also difference in the skin color is there. So if we look at the if the al-sinatikum the term that Allah used Despite Allah choosing the best of arabic language There will be certain thing that people The people will take pride in it and it is also, you know, good It is not something bad like he's speaking arabic in their own way the way that we speak english in Different ways. No, it's not a problem. So there should I personally believe that there should not be Any difference like, you know, Quranic arabic and traditional arabic is speaking arabic. No, arabic arabic colloquial standard modern exactly Yeah, so Just to finish what would you be what would be a an advice advice that you will give to To you know, the typical young person who knows or maybe the revered person Who sees the importance of learning arabic and how to start for them and what to be aware of and what to look up for Okay, uh, simply I would say that going back to the Quran as simple as it is You don't know how to read Quran. That's not a problem. Alhamdulillah nowadays you have all to you Recitation of the Quran keep listening to it. Even if you don't understand keep repeating it You know because there are people So quickly learning that If this Way of learning can be utilized towards something that is relevant to the dunya and the akhira Especially akhira, which is through the Quran Then Quran is something that would help us to learn it So if your person is in a constant habit of listening the reciting listening to the Recitation or the tilawah of the Quran Wallahi the person will never lose the greatness in learning arabic It's the first and very basic step. No wallahi no and it has been Moving it has been proven wallahi. Alhamdulillah. Whenever someone is so attached to the Quran Especially to the listening and person feels comfortable in listening It gives him the comfort or the sister's case if gives her the comfort Then one should not lose that track. Wallahi through the Quran Doors will be open when someone goes through the memorization of the Quran Allah blessed me to be able to be happy in the Quran Alhamdulillah. Those were easier for me Issues never too late even those young That is fine moment for the young students for the young students of alayhi Who always in a habit of listening to the Quran wallahi Then you see you can go for different apps for learning arabic Then in a basic level they are available Who's ever feel comfortable doing so? No And For all the viewers inshallah This has been our brother rashid Al madani you you guys can find him in ireland inshallah. What was the message again that you are? What is the name of the message in ireland?  Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah. So, uh, thank you very much for everyone tuning in and watching And uh, hopefully we see you guys in the next uh in the next interview Alhamdulillah


Hello, hello everyone, welcome to today's Nature Boost. My name is Christy. I'm with the San Francisco Public Library here in San Francisco, California on the traditional ancestral and unceded land of the Romitush-Aloni peoples. Wherever you're tuning in from, we're glad that you're with us today. Join us in the chat and let us know where you're from. We'll be monitoring the chat throughout this program and bringing your questions to our special guests today. So Nature Boost is a proud partnership with our library, the San Francisco Public Library that is, and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the National Parks Service, and the Presidio Trust. We are so proud to be in partnership with our local national parks and this triad agency doing so much for the public land and making it accessible to everyone. And we thank our friends at the San Francisco Public Library who are always behind every program that we present to our public. Today, Ranger MJ, you know her from Smory Storytime, Nature Boost, maybe she's come to visit your class. You've definitely seen her in our libraries pre-COVID time. She's gonna join us to talk about Every Kid Outdoors, a free park pass program for all fourth and fifth graders and their entire families. It's an amazing program. A couple of years ago when my child was a fourth grader, we were so excited for him to partake in this program. We planned our vacations and trips so we could go see Yosemite for free, Lassen National Park for free, and we had saved all our pennies and dimes so we could go to Hawaii and went to Maui and it got access to Haleakala, an amazing majestic place. And we hiked the jungle trails in a bamboo forest, made memories, sang songs together. And we also hiked the other side, which was a volcanic, it looked like Star Wars. To this day, we still talk about these fun memories that we made together as a family. The way it is my pleasure to welcome National Park Service Ranger extraordinaire, Maria Jose Alcantara. We call her Ranger MJ. She is one of our team members and we adore working with her and we value everything that she brings to our community. So MJ, can you join me on screen and take it away? Hi. Hello, Christian. Hello library friends. Thank you so much for welcoming me to your screen wherever you find yourself. Happy New Year, everyone. Today I'm going to share with you the very exciting program called Every Kid Outdoors. And this special program has been extended throughout this year to include fifth graders, not only fourth graders as it has in past years. So we are so excited to share this news with you if you haven't heard it yet. So if you're a fourth grader, fifth grader, an educator, or maybe you know someone who's in fourth or fifth grade, or you just want to get to know what kind of parks are out here in the Bay Area or what national parks you could possibly explore with a national park pass, then this is the program for you. So before we get started, let's go to the next slide. Let's go over our overview of what today's program is going to look like. I'm going to introduce myself really quick. We're going to learn about your local national park, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. So it's a series of smaller national park sites within our Bay Area. After that, we'll go beyond the Bay Area to our national parks, beyond the Bay. And then we'll find out how to claim your very own pass. So let's go to the next slide. So that's me wearing the gray and green and my fancy hat. I'm not going to wear it today because I've got my space buns today, but that is me. I am a park ranger at your national park, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, and I have worked in this national park since 2008. So I grew up in the national parks here in the Bay Area. My parents took me since I was very, very little to explore Redwood Forest. They took me to explore Chrissy Field. We wouldn't even go bike riding in Golden Gate Park on the weekends. So parks have always been a part of my life thanks to my parents. If you don't believe me, let's go to the next slide. That's Baby Ranger MJ with my mom in a Redwood Forest long, long time ago. And when I was in fifth grade, I was so lucky to have been a part of a backpacking trip with my elementary school. So I went to West Portal Elementary School in San Francisco and they partnered up with, I think it was the PAL Police Department program and they took us backpacking for the very first time. So I didn't know what backpacking was as a kid. I'm like, so we just take our backpack and go everywhere. But they gave us these ginormous backpacks that were bigger than myself. And we went to Point Reyes National Seashore and that was my very first backpacking experience in my national park sites. I would have never imagined back then that I would then enter the future beyond me become a park ranger. So let's go on to the next slide. So what is a national park to begin with? So I mentioned a few different parks that I used to visit when I was a kid, but what makes a difference between a city park like Golden Gate Park and a national park? So you might notice I'm wearing this emblem on my uniform. I am wearing a uniform. Let's check out the next slide. We'll get a close-up for you of what that emblem looks like. So the National Park Service is a government agency that has been created in 1916. So that's more than 100 years ago. We just celebrated our centennial, our 100-year anniversary in 2016. So that's already a long time ago. But when you see this arrowhead, you know that you are visiting a site that has been protected for different reasons. Let's find out what kind of reasons those might be in the next slide. So when you see this emblem, either on someone's uniform, a hat, maybe you'll see it on a maintenance truck passing by. Maybe you'll see it on a trail's head sign. Maybe you'll see it in the trailheads that are in your library. I know I've seen them in there in the library branches. So when you see that arrowhead, the arrowhead itself, the shape represents the cultural history of the parks. We also have the sequoia tree, which is one of the natural aspects of the sequoia tree is like an iconic tree that represents one of the natural aspects of our parks. We have the bison, which is one of our animals that you can see in the park sites. Maybe we'll see a bison later on our slides today. And of course the mountain and the lake. So the National Park Service has been established to protect natural and culturally historic places. And now we even have even more park sites that have been preserved and protected for social justice reasons, civil rights reasons. We have so many. I wonder how many we have. Let's find out in the next slide, how many park sites could there be in the United States? Oh my goodness! So the last I checked, we might even have more at this point. But the last time I checked, we had 422 national park sites. Could you believe it? I've only been to maybe like 20. That's even a big guess. But let's check out the next slide. That's a whole bunch of park sites. But since we're close to home, we want to go over the Bay Area National Park site. So the Golden Gate National Recreation Area is just one piece of the different park sites that you can visit in the Bay Area. We have Port Chicago over in Martinez. We have John Muir National Historic Site close to there. In Richmond, California, we have Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historic Park. Oh my goodness! It's so cool to go and see the waterfront trails there and they have the shipyard that has also different way sides you can learn about what it was like for the Rosies, for the women in World War II working there. And then we have Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site. And then of course we go to the western side, the left side of our screen shows Point Reyes National Seashore. That's where I went backpacking for the first time. And the last time I went backpacking there, let me tell you, it was not the same as it was when I was in fifth grade. It was much harder as an adult. Let's go to the next slide. Backpacks get heavier when you grow up. All right, Golden Gay National Recreation Area, my favorite park, cause it's my park. So we have our different park sites there that we can see in the green. So I know it's kind of a blurry image, but you can find this map on our website and we'll include some links to that in the chats too. So Golden Gay National Recreation Area, it includes many of those famous park sites you may have heard of. So Alcatraz Island, Mirror Woods, Fort Point, the Golden Gay Bridge basically bridges all of our park sites together. We have the Presidio. We have Ocean Beach, Fort Funston. We go all the way down to Pacifica. We have Moray Point, Malaga Ridge, Sweeney Ridge. Oh my goodness. We even have a place down that didn't fit in the map, Fleger Estate, almost by Redwood City. But we extend from Redwood City basically up to Belina's Lagoon up at the beginning of Point Reyes. So let's check out the next slide. Get a little bit more zoomed in. We see our beautiful Golden Gay Bridge in the center. And I used to work in the Presidio in person, but I am working from home now. I am in my home studio at the moment, but I get to share our national park sites and you can still visit safely, and you can recreate responsibly to check out these park sites right now. But let's find out a little bit more than just looking at a map. What places could we explore in our park? Oh, Chrissy Field. Chrissy Field, we have our beautiful restored marsh that volunteers help to recreate what the marsh may have looked like in the time before time before San Francisco was ever established in the time of the Ohlone people.  What other place do we have in our park? Let's see. On the next slide, Alcatraz Island. Oh my goodness, one of the most famous sites probably of our GGNRA. Alcatraz right in the center of San Francisco Bay. It is a historic federal prison, but we also have a much greater history as a part of that. If you notice in this picture, right below the prison, we have a very cool thing. Maybe you can take a guess before I reveal what that is in the center of your screen. It's a white triangular shape. In Alcatraz, we just celebrated the anniversary of the Indian occupation on Alcatraz over 50 years ago. So Indians of all tribes gathered on Alcatraz and they fought for their rights as well, let their voices be heard. And they're still being heard to this day. So sometimes we have representations like this teepee on Alcatraz Island to let people know, remind them that Indians are still welcome on Alcatraz, Indians of all tribes. Let's go to the next slide. What else can we find in GGNRA? Mirror woods, the tallest trees in the whole wide world. We have our redwood trees up in Mill Valley on the northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Let's check out the next slide. Moran Headlands. Oh, this is probably my most favorite of all of GGNRA. I actually lived there for a short time while I was working in the Moran Headlands. But Moran Headlands, it's just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge. You'll see the hills across from San Francisco on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. You see the hills and behind there, there's this beautiful lagoon. There's a beach. There's natural and historic features there. It's an excellent place to go bird watching. Next slide, please. And when you're back on the San Francisco side underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, you have a historic Civil War fortress fort point. You're going to get some exclusive views there of the bay and of the Golden Gate Bridge when you're there. So let's find out what's on our next slide. The Presidio. We have beautiful trails and a lot of our different forests in the Presidio that you can check out too. This is our installation called Woodline. You can barely see that there's some logs sneaking down the trail. All right, next slide, please. So now that we got to see a little glimpse of what the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, your national parks look like, let me know in the chat, what would you like to explore in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area? Next slide, please. So every kid outdoors. You don't need an every kid outdoors pass to visit most of our GGNRA sites. Some of them you could, for example, mere woods, but let's explore beyond the Bay Area. So once you have your every kid outdoor pass, you can visit the places that we're going to explore in these next slides. Next, please. All right, so Yosemite National Park, one of our most iconic national parks of the NPS, you can visit. It is in California. So you can check out that one if you're up for a road trip. Next slide, please. Another place that you can visit is Cesar Chavez National Monument. So remember, there's natural cultural history that is preserved and then this is a more recent cultural history in our national park system. So this is also in California. You can go check about the social justice movement around the rights for labor workers in California. Next slide, please. Another cultural historic significant park in California is Manzanar National Historic Site. So in this one, there's so many stories that need to be heard about the internment camps that were right here in California when war was happening in our country. There was a lot of people who were sent mandatory to these places just because of their background. So we have a lot of our Japanese American history that is very significant here in California. And even the order that sent all these people to these camps started in the Presidio in San Francisco, believe it or not. So it's a very rich history that is worth taking the time to go learn. And it's just here in California. Let's go beyond that. Next slide, please. All right, we're gonna go a few states down. You can go all the way to Arizona, the Grand Canyon National Park. I actually worked there. It was my very first job as a park ranger when I was 17 years old. I got to work at the Grand Canyon. So another famous park you can visit. Next slide, please. That's our natural aspects. Martin Luther King Junior Memorial. So we're gonna take it all the way across country now. You can go to Washington, D.C. and check out these amazing monuments. Again, not all places require the parks pass, but some places you could use it there. So imagine standing there, facing up at this giant statue of Martin Luther King Junior Memorial. I haven't been there yet, but I would love to explore it. Next slide, please. Okay, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. We're gonna see a lot of parks in Wyoming in these slides.  Like in this picture here, we have some indigenous tribe in their regalia taking part in some kind of ceremony at that national park land. So that's very special. Sometimes it's so special that you can even be a part of that and be able to witness that. Next slide, please. Mount Rushmore. Oh my gosh, I get this question a lot. Have you been to the park with the faces on the rock? I have not. So Mount Rushmore National Park. It's one of the other iconic American parks out here. I've never been to it, but also I can imagine staring up at that. I'd have to go all the way to South Dakota for that though, but you could check it out if you have a park pass. Let's check out what else is on our list here of iconic parks. Stonewall National Monument in New York City. So again, another modern example of the newer additions to our national park system. So this one is definitely social justice related. This was recently added to our national park system because of the civil rights uprising that happened at that very place in a bar in New York City. So you never know within your own lifetime, we're not just creating national parks 100 years ago, we're creating national park sites today. So I would love to know also what kind of places you would like to see part of the national park system. Let me know. Next slide, please. All right, so all these places we can go visit, we can look up online, plan our adventures, but what can you even do or see in your national parks? Let's find out how to get started with that in our next slide. So once you are able to safely get out to your national parks, you can start always at the visitor center. A lot of these park places have an entrance station that will give you some information when you go in, but because of current times, it is unsure, but if they are open, you can always check ahead of time before going to a national park site to see if they're open to begin with, what facilities are available, but if they are open, you can start at their visitor center. Next slide, please. And then you can check out their exhibits if they are available to you. You can grab a trail map and then choose your adventure from there. The park trail map usually has not just the trails, but a lot of the history and the significant places that you can visit in the park. This is North Cascades National Park. They had a really cool like 3D map of their park that's up in Washington state. Next slide, please. You can go to places like Sequoia National Park and enjoy a beautiful hike among the trees. Next slide, please. What else can we do in our parks? Of course, enjoy the views. Like this family here is enjoying at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Next slide, please. You can also take a stroll. We have some really cool trails. So if you're not a hardcore hiker, I was in the time before time, but I get really tired when I go on a hike in recent times. So you can go and take a casual stroll, bring your little friends with you too on literally a stroller if you want to and see what's in your national parks. Next slide, please. These families are having fun in the parks. You can also become a junior ranger. So junior ranger is one of my personal favorite activities to do. I know I'm not a junior ranger. I am a big grown-up park ranger now, but I still love to take part in that. You get to learn so much. You get a free booklet that tells you a little bit about the history about the park and you get to answer questions as there's a lot of trivia activities you can do and you can earn your very own wooden or plastic junior ranger badge and you can collect them all. So you can do that if the parks are offering that. Next slide, please. You can learn, of course, about the natural and cultural history. We have awesome exhibits. So this is the most recent exhibit we had in Alcatraz Island. I think it's still there. You can learn about the Indian occupation or... Oh no, this actually, I'm correcting myself here. This was the previous exhibit we have. We have exhibit right now about the Indian occupation on Alcatraz right now, but this was future IDs. It was about formerly incarcerated peoples in modern times, an exhibit of their voice being heard today on Alcatraz. So that was a couple of years ago. But next slide, please. See, these exhibits are changing all the time. We don't even know. Another thing I love to do, you can go camping in the outdoors, of course, right now. Camping is not available everywhere, but in the places that there are, make sure to check it out. If you have never gone camping before, if you're terrified to do so, if I can do it when I was in fifth grade, when I was as a baby, I recommend you take your family out and at least experience it once. It's so cool to be able to camp outside. You get to hear different sounds that you don't normally hear when you're sleeping at home. But just the thrill of it, getting to put a blanket over yourself and hang out with your family in the dark and look up at the sky. Well, here in the Bay Area, it's so hard to look up at the night sky with the fog, but I highly recommend camping. Next slide, please. Or you can try doing some other outdoor recreation activities like our high school interns in this photo here. They went all the way to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in California. It's in Northern California. They went kayaking for the first time, a lot of them. So you can try other things to do. That's another recreation area. So next slide, please. And of course, you never know what you might see in your national park. So if you're gonna stay locally, you could probably see our coyotes in the Marin Headlands. This photo is taken back in May. It was a quiet morning in the Marin Headlands at the Golden Gate Bridge, Vista Point. And I happened to stop by and snap this picture from a distance, of course. But what other wildlife could we see? Let's check out our next slides. Ooh! Now this, if you're like me afraid of snakes, you might freak out. But the San Francisco Garter Snake is this beautiful. It's probably the most beautiful snake you can see. And we don't get to see it quite often because it is an endangered species. So you can learn about them in your national parks. You might see photos of them. But if you're super lucky, you might be able to encounter your endangered species in the national parks because they are protected in there. So I've never seen a San Francisco Garter Snake. If you do, be careful, see from a distance. Maybe snap a picture and send it to me. Next slide, please. Or you can see some of our endangered species that are maybe not so endangered anymore. Or maybe their park rangers and park staff in the parks are doing the effort to take care of them. Like our California condor. We have these very special gigantic birds with the wingspan that's like way bigger than my body that fly over California. And they even fly over at the Grand Canyon. And you get to learn about them from our park staff. And of course, you can see them from a distance.  Next slide, please. Oh my goodness! You can also see wildlife up close. Remember I said we might see a bison in our slides. This is the bison. This is not my photo. I got this photo from our park website, but this is Yellowstone National Park again in Wyoming. And you never know who you might encounter in your national parks. You might see the bison up close while you're in your car. I would be very nervous to be in this vehicle right next to these giant bison.  I can go to the Gate Park in San Francisco. That might be a little safer too. Next slide, please. I feel more comfortable seeing them that way. But I have this ginormous question for you. So we went through the national park sites that are right here in the Bay Area. We went through the national park sites that you could potentially visit. If you go with your every kid outdoor pass or your general national park sites pass. But who do the national parks belong to? Now, this is a huge question that I love asking, but let me know who do the national parks belong to? Who do you think they belong to? Next slide, please. All right, so let's talk about every kid outdoors for real. How do we claim your pass? How do we claim your pass so that you can go and visit these places that we just talked about? Next slide, please. The first most thing you can do is go to the website everykidoutdoors.gov. So that's everykidoutdoors.gov for government. And when you go to that website, you're gonna see this page and it's gonna have this giant every kid outdoors, hey, fourth graders, let's check it out. And the big button that says let's go. So we're gonna go over that process right now. But if you take note on the top left corner, it says, hey, fifth graders, there's a blue banner that has a link to the fifth graders. But we'll get back to that in a minute. So let's pretend that we're clicking this website saying, let's go, fourth graders. So we pretended to click it. Next slide, please. It's gonna take you to some questions. So it's gonna say, dear diary, today I used my free pass to explore the United States. At first I was nervous because there were so many options. There were parks, forest, seashores, wildlife, habitats to visit. I had to decide what I wanted to do. So when you click start, it's gonna give you a series of questions and you get to choose your own adventure. So you can pick whether you wanna go see a historic feature, if you wanna go see Petroglyphs, or if you wanna go visit Martin Luther King's house, you get to choose those. I can't remember which questions I chose, but let's go to the next slide. After you choose those questions, it's only three questions. It says, woohoo, you did it. Claim your pass. You're gonna get your paper pass on the next screen. Please print it and keep it in a safe place. Remember to take it with you on your trip. So right here, just to get your pass, you're gonna enter your zip code. That's the mailing code from your home, from your address, your neighborhood. If you don't know your home one, you could probably ask a parent or guardian, or you can ask your teacher, your educator, and ask them what the zip code is to your school and use that one instead. So let's go to the next slide. Ta-da, you're gonna get your pass that looks like this. So once you have that PDF version of your pass, it is called a voucher. So you have your park voucher. You can print that out or you can show it on your phone when you take it to the National Park sites. And that will be basically your free ticket to go visit those National Park sites. So let's go to the next slide. What about that fifth grade pass, huh? So again, when you're on that main page, you can click on that blue banner on the top. It says, get your voucher for fifth graders. And the fifth grader one is a little different because it only lasts until August, 2021. So August of this year, we have like eight months to take use of this. So fifth graders, get on it. Let's see what that one looks like. So when you click that one on the next slide, you're gonna see a video. Please watch the video. Find out more about the fifth grade pass. And then there's a link that you can click there and that will open your fifth grade voucher. So they look similar. They're a little different. Let's see a side by side. Next slide, please. Oh, I think there was another page. Let's go one slide back. So yeah, fifth grade voucher again, it does expire August 31st of 2021. That is this year. So on these PDF vouchers, there's also all the official rules where you can get it, where you can redeem it. All of that is on there and on our website too. But let's go back to that side by side. Next page. We have our two different vouchers side by side. So the fourth grade voucher, that one will last all of the year that you are in fourth grade. And it'll go to the end of this year if you're in fourth grade right now. So congratulations during your pass. It's orange. The fifth grade voucher again, only till August 31st, 2021, but still please go use it. That one is mostly green and it has that little mountain. It almost looks like my arrowhead that we went over in the beginning, but next slide, please. All right, you did it. You got your pass. You can go to places like Lassen. Like Christy went with her family. But of course, I'm sure you're asking yourself like, what if you don't have a pass? What if you can't go to these spaces? What if you're not a fourth grader? I have some answers for you. But let's go to the next slide. So let's say you did get your pass. You can get out there, take your family with you. You can visit places like Arches National Park in Utah. Next slide, please. You can explore with your family, take the whole family with you. So when you do have this pass, your voucher will grant access to everyone who is in your vehicle if you go into a park that includes, like there's an entrance station and you can drive there. So if you can fit your whole family in your car, my family is kind of big and we have an eight passenger vehicle. So if you have a fourth or fifth grader in the car with the pass, you can bring your whole family with you. Next slide, please. All right, so remember I said, all right, what if I'm not in fourth or fifth grade? What if I don't have a pass? What else can I do? What if I'm 31 years old and no longer in school anymore? You can visit your national parks for free on these six very special days that the park service has reserved for you and your family. So we have fee free days in 2021. So the one coming up real close is January 18th, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We're so excited to welcome you to your national parks on other days like April 17th, August 4th. And we have the link for that on the bottom here in ps.gov slash plan your visit slash fee free parks. It's a long link, but we'll include that for you too. So in the little picture, we have Sequoia National Park. What are the other three days? Let's go to the next slide, please. All right, we have three more dates, August 25th, September 25th and November 11th. So remember six total fee free days that you can go explore the national parks with your family. And hopefully they will be open. Hopefully they will be available and all the features will be available to you. But please, we never know. Check out before you go out there and make sure that you can access those places. But we are projecting, we are hoping that we can visit those on those six free days. So let's go to the next slide, please. And that's basically all there is for every kid outdoors. I want you to find your park and you can recreate responsibly. I know it's very uncertain still because of the pandemic that we are all living through. And we do have some resources available for you to still check out our national parks. You can still go on a hike and enjoy nature and enjoy some fresh air, but please check out our websites to see how you can recreate responsibly in your national parks. But I see that we have a lot of questions rolling and I'm so excited that you're engaging with us. Remember I asked you a big question, who do the national parks belong to? We'll get into that. So thank you for listening to my presentation about every kid outdoors. That was just as much as I can get into that presentation about that, but let's get to some questions. Hi, Christy. Hey, MJ. Hey. Thank you so much for sharing about how we can access our local national parks, giving us a virtual field trip all around America to see these amazing parks. There was so much love on the chat feed, appreciation for animals, plants, parks, camping.  So we had a lot of kids on chat today, eye kids, sharing their appreciation for this and definitely learning about how they can take advantage of this pass. They've answered a lot of the questions, but one question that came up was, what was that bird with the amazing wingspan? Can you remind us what that is? Oh, the California condor. It looks very similar to a turkey vulture with its red, leathery looking head and the black wingspan, but it is a California condor and they are a very protected species here in California. But oh my gosh, I already forgot how long the wingspan is, but I want to say a turkey vulture is like a four foot wingspan. California condor is like at least twice that size, I think. But if someone knows the correct answer, let me know. But it is a California condor. And if you go to Mirror Woods, at the very entrance before you enter the park, they have this really cool wooden exhibit that has the wingspan cut out in wood of all the different birds. So you can put your wingspan there and see like, oh my goodness, I'm barely the size of a X, Y, and Z bird on that thing. Amazing. Thanks for sharing with us all the fee-free days that are happening this year and one coming up in just a matter of weeks. So that's awesome. Thanks for sharing that. Do you have any pro tips for us if you're going to a national park and planning on a hike for beginners? Like what would you bring? Ooh, okay. So if you want to get started, you can visit our more easier places like Chrissy Field if you want to go for a more flat hike. But always when you go to your national parks, make sure you bring some layers, especially here in the Bay Area, you never know when Carl the Fog is going to roll in and it's going to be super cold. It's so foggy, it's almost raining on you. Like it has been in this past couple of weeks, but always bring some sweatshirts, maybe a rain layer. Always bring a water bottle, some comfortable shoes you don't mind getting dirty. You never know if it's going to be rocky terrain, if it's going to be a wooded platform, or if there's going to be mud because of that fog or rain. Always bring a backpack where you can put some different resources in there. A lot of these parks, if you're going to go for a longer day hike, you might not have access to food or a restaurant. So you can always pack a snack or a lunch to bring with your family. And those are the basics I would recommend, but always check out the website to see, okay, how long of a hike are you going to go for? If you're going to go backpacking like I did in fifth grade and like I did two years ago, you're going to need a lot more stuff. But for a day hike, normally I like to bring a small backpack where I can fit a water bottle and extra sweatshirt, make sure I got some comfy shoes on, whether they're my squishy like memory foam running shoes or comfortable shoes, or whether they're my hiking shoes, I'll gauge it on which trail I want to go to. But yeah, thanks for that question. That's awesome. And I think you touched upon this. There's a question that says, how come fifth graders only get the pass until 2021? Do you have any intel on that? Aha, so fifth graders, I know it doesn't sound fair, but fifth graders, you were in fourth grade last year. So because of the pandemic, we're like, whoa, that's not fair. They didn't get to really explore their national park sites when they're in fourth grade. And we didn't really get to promote every kid outdoors while you were in fourth grade. So we're giving you that second chance since you're in fifth grade to let you explore at least through your fifth grade here. So that's gonna end August 31st. And that's not a decision that I made. It's a decision that was made very high above somewhere in the government. But that is the reason why fifth graders were included because normally it is a fourth grade pass. And the government decided to select fourth graders because they figured fourth grade is like, when you're exploring them the most you're learning about natural and cultural histories and all these different subjects in fourth grade.  So that's why fourth grade was selected. But fifth grade was included because they wanted to extend the invitation at least for a little while longer. Awesome, that is so generous of the national park. So thank you. And we have a question that popped in. I think this is a pop quiz for you. How many national parks are there in the U.S.? Oh, well, we tried to answer that question. The park sites was last time I checked 422. It may be more, because I saw an article yesterday morning that some other site was being added, but you never know, there might be a whole list of places being added. I guess we'll have to check it out and find out and stay tuned what other park sites might be added to the list. I think at least in my lifetime, I will be able to see 500 national park sites. I sure hope. But there's different designations too. Like there's different titles that these parks have. So we are a national recreation area here. We have national historic sites, national like seashores, parkways. There's many designations, but they're called park sites. So that's the 422 that I had last checked. That is super cool. Thanks, kids. I'm checking our chat feed to see if there are any other questions that have come in. Yeah, keep the questions rolling. I think there's a lot of appreciation for you, for bringing this information to our library so we could pass it on. This program will be available on the virtual trailhead off of the San Francisco Public Library's website. The URL is in the chat. Oh, one question, really important one. Where can I get my pass? Is it a physical pass? All right, that's an excellent question. So for the fourth grade voucher, of course the paper one is a voucher to get your pass. So depending on where you visit for that first time, they may or may not have a physical plastic pass. So some parks do sometimes don't, in the Bay Area, we're still trying to figure out where we can provide those, but at the moment right now, not all of our park sites are open. So usually you can find them wherever they sell the regular America, the beautiful park passes and where they have the senior pass and the veterans pass. So in our local parks at GGNRA, usually you can get them at our parks conservancy bookstores, like the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point, Muir Woods and Alcatraz, I believe. But at the moment, we do not have a physical pass. But if you go to one of those bigger fancy parks where they do have an entrance station and they usually have more physical passes available, you may get a plastic one. But for the time being, you can hold on to your voucher and keep showing it. Hopefully they can get you a plastic pass, but they may not be available. For the fifth grade one, unfortunately there is not a plastic pass. In place that they just couldn't make one happen for that. But yeah. It's kind of like our library cards right now. You can get a digital library card for free if you live in San Francisco, just complete the online form. And if you're an SFUSD student, you already have a library card. Give us a call if you need reminding of your digits. It's super easy right now. It's a little hard to distribute physical cards right now, just the COVID considerations. Yeah, that's another thing too. So because of that, there may not be the physical pass available, but if you have it on your phone when you have to scan the barcode or if you have that print out, that print out in a special place, maybe leave it in the car if you're gonna be visiting in a car so that you don't lose it. But did anyone answer that one question that I asked everybody who do the national parks belong to? Oh, in the chat, the kids knew. They're like, it's our park. It's my park. That's right. So a lot of times when I ask this question, people say, hmm, the government, the president, the people, you the park ranger. But I love to ask this question because it always starts off with you and me. So national parks have been protected and created for you and me. And I always sing a song. These parks are your parks. These parks are my parks. So the parks belong to you and that's why you should go out and explore your national parks. But yeah. Amazing. Questions. Just doing a final scan. I think we covered all the questions. However, you could always call your library for more information. You can rewatch this program off the virtual trailhead at SFPL and offer YouTube channel. We know we're gonna continue to work with the national park service and with the major in MJ and her whole team. So follow us on social channels and stay in touch. Thank you so much, MJ, for bringing this knowledge to us today and inspiring us to connect and be in our parks. They are for all of us, just like your public libraries. Thanks everyone for tuning in.

And, you know, we said earlier that the negrado often occurs at the beginning of the work. And it was commonly understood that the work progressed in these three phases, the negrado, the albedo, and the rubedo. And I want to read just a little bit from Jung about where he talks about how the negrado becomes the albedo, because I think that's kind of where we are right now in the conversation. He says, the work is difficult and strewn with obstacles. The alchemical opus is dangerous. Right at the beginning you meet the dragon, the catholic spirit, the devil, whereas the alchemist called it the blackness, the negrado, and this encounter produces suffering. In the language of the alchemists, matter suffers until the negrado disappears when the dawn will be announced by the peacock's tail and a new day will break and that's the albedo. So it is the suffering that turns the blackness into the whiteness. I would add that it's the conscious suffering of that that makes it alchemical versus instinctive, perhaps, that we know what we're struggling up against. And so when we first begin to feel uncomfortable and aware that something is churning but we don't know what it is, Jung referred to that as the emergence of the masa confusa, which is a word I throw around all the time. Masa confusa. You like saying that, don't you? I love saying it. It rolls off the tongue tripping away. And it just means, because it's a big confusing mass, you know, and if we think about it as a big roiling cloud with all kinds of images just halfway poking out of it, and all kinds of feeling and lightning bolts, you know, zinging around it, that we come into this interstate where we're boiling but we can't quite put our finger on the problem yet. And I think all of us can associate and remember moments at least where we felt that way. And if we can stay attentive to it and not go back to sleep, things begin to emerge, which we normally don't like to see in ourselves, but which can, by the way, be very valuable. And then we're on the path of change. If we can put our hands on it and not let it go. You writes very movingly about being in this place of the Masa confusa and the Negrado. And he went out in the morning and sat by the edge of the lake and Zurich and built little houses and so on. He was lost. And he said that he needed a point of support in this world and that his family and professional work were that to me. And I think I want to offer that up as that there is also that in the Masa confusa and in the suffering. What do you have? What needs to be done? You need to go out and get some groceries. Is there a meal to be prepared? Is there a phone call to be made? Is there a room to be cleaned? There's always a room to be cleaned. And he says his family and profession always remained a joyful reality and a guarantee that I also had a normal existence. What is the next step? What is the next thing to be done? What can you put your hands on or put your voice to that you could do right now? In AA, the advice given is just to do the next right thing, which I really love that. It's very practical.  What is the next right thing to do? Even if it's just cleaning the bathroom. But it's lovely. It's lovely and it's grounding. And I think we have lots of examples of that. You feel what you feel and what is the next right thing that you can actually do. I think that the image you're bringing forward, Deb, for me rightly belongs to the Albedo stage and particularly one of the images of doing the laundry. That I feel like in the conversation we keep slipping out of the negrado into the next stage because sitting in the negrado is hard even in our conversation to just circumambulate around this particular emergence of what we don't want to see. Not necessarily how we'll cope with it, not necessarily what comes next, but just in the discomfort of what we're seeing. That that actually is transformative and if we solve it too quickly, I tend to become suspicious and we can go into a cleverness, a clever solution so that we don't have to feel uncomfortable. And lots of therapies will do that very quickly. Oh, we'll do thought and searching. So don't think about that anymore and choose three thoughts that actually are comforting and relaxing. And every time you have the uncomfortable thought, just go to the comfortable thought and just shut that down. I mean, there's a lot of advice around that. And the reason we like that advice is that we don't like being uncomfortable and nothing in us wants to suffer. So sitting in the negrado is feeling that we cannot escape the reality that's emerging and that we must sit and brood on it and look at it and not go away to something else. And the question that I would ask is, what am I being brought down to? Yeah, I mean, I think one aspect of the negrado is that it feels, it does feel inescapable. You may want to escape it, but often you just really can't. You know, it punctures your defenses. And I like your question, Joseph, what am I being brought down to? There is a humiliation that goes along with it often. We have to admit that we thought we had it all figured out. And guess what? We actually doubt. And I think that that is true on an individual level. It's also true on a collective level. We did not think we could be laid low like this, I don't think. But the global economy could just be cut off at the knees just by a virus. I think that's so important, Lisa. I think about just several months ago, this great debate in the United States between whether or not we should put more energy into the welfare state. And by that, I mean the social safety network. Should we fund universal health care? Should we strengthen social security or Medicare Medicaid? You know, all of the safety nets of our culture. And that was met often with a kind of bravado that one would never need that. If you plan correctly, you should never be dependent upon some kind of an agency or anything that is governmental, that we're all kind of, you know, pioneers in the 1800s. And what's happening now with this sudden emergence of shadow and one of the pieces of shadow is dependency. That there is this enormous feeling of vulnerability in the American psyche and dependency. And then this crying out for a kind of parental caretaking response from the government that was vilified just several months ago, even gleefully vilified. So this goes to your comment, Lisa, of the humbling that's required in this case to admit dependency and vulnerability. Yeah. And of course, this relates also to this idea of the relativization of the ego. And Edward Edinger, a union analyst who wrote a great book actually on alchemy, it's called Anatomy of the Psyche, a Chemical Symbolism in Psychotherapy. He talks about this concept a little bit in relation to the mortificatio and the negrito around King Lear. He early in the play, he is kind of so sure of himself and so sure of his own authority. And over the course of the drama, he loses authority, power, and control. And then, of course, he loses his dear daughter. And he undergoes this total mortificatio and of course goes mad. But it's in this negrito that he is transformed because he gets a glimpse of the transpersonal psyche that he is now willing to serve. And I've sort of been paraphrasing Edinger there. But I think that's a lovely example. And perhaps, Joseph, you'll accuse me of slipping into the albedo, you know, kind of where it goes. But I think it is always going somewhere, too. Exactly. That's what I have been thinking about is how important it is to think about where this might take us. And just to begin to even imagine it, where is the telos, where is the trajectory?


Worlds collide in today's movie roast as Dr. Strange goes up against the Scarlet Witch. Who will win in the end? Certainly not the audience. Let's roast! The producer on this roast is birthday girl Jan Rose.  Thank you for being an awesome supporter, Jan. And happy birthday. Let's roast. We open. In green screen world. Benedict Cucumberpatch and some new girl are running from a giant monster. Dr. Strange is sporting the same haircut my eighth grade music teacher had. He was in a band. Spoiler, they didn't last. And either does this Dr. Strange, but we'll get there in a second. Ponytail McGee attempts to take door of the explorer's superpowers, which in the process will kill her. But at the end of the day, one life pales in comparison to that of the entire multiverse. Needless to say, it's a bold strategy, Cotton. One that doesn't pay off.  We transition to a shirtless Benedict Cumberpatch. This is the one we fell in love with.  Now, when I first saw this scene, I thought he was attending a funeral for the MCU, but for Strange, it's much worse. It's Christine's wedding. Some dude moses up to him in the pew, but I am absolutely transfixed by the woman behind Strange. This extra is absolutely out of control.  She's so lost in the architecture around her. It's like she's never seen a building before. There's our mean girl Regina. She's so hot right now. Regina. A car crash interrupts a lovely conversation. All right. What is happening with this extra? Who's pulling my chain here? She's double taking in the same shot. I don't care who you are.  An alien squid is attempting to capture Stargirl. I don't know her name at this point, so I'm just gonna call her different things. Strange cuts a bus in half. This is the 80th time a bus has been destroyed in a superhero film. Just recently, we had Blue Beetle, Shang-Chi, and Captain Marvel. The girl is starting to run from the tentacle creature, and now this is starting to look like something I saw online once. It did not end the most pleasurably for the young woman in the video. At least, not at first. Also, I lied a second ago. I've seen several of that type of video. Let's move on. Get over here. Wong joins the fight. Christine's like, uh, I cannot believe he's ruining my big day. After a pretty slick action sequence, Dr. Strange rips out a pole in the ground, throws it through the alien's eye. Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? I'm not so sure Viceen's gonna help on this one. Okay, I'm done. They have an okay meal together, where Jean Jacket explains how she's met a different Dr. Strange, and she liked that one more. Just to recap, she just said, she liked the guy more that tried to kill her no more than five minutes earlier than the dude that just saved her life. She prefers the other guy. I know this is a comedic joke. It's not funny. It doesn't make sense. Why would she say that? She should be like, incredibly scared for her life right now, but I like the other guy better. American flag coat talks to him about the book of Vashanti. She also explains how she can travel the multiverse accidentally. She has powers. She's not sure how she can control them. I bet by the end of this film, she learns how. Yeah, it turns out that other Dr. Strange is in fact dead. He doesn't look great, yet Benedict Cumberbatch still looks more regal than I do, even in death.  We also get the girl's name. America Chavez. They also determine that the creature that's stalking her isn't using conventional magic. It's using bitchcraft. No, I can't be... Checks notes. Uh, witchcraft.  Wanda. He meets up with her and they have a nice heart to heart in a meadow. She briefly mentions her Disney plus show that not even half the audience watched and will be absolutely confused at this turn of character. Shortly after, she reveals this whole thing was a ruse and she's in fact the Scarlet Witch and the one behind all of this. She wants America Chavez's power so she can hop through the multiverse and get some kids of her own. I don't know why I'm so aggressive right now. Bottom line, the Wanda we knew in love is gone. The darkness has a hold of her in the form of the Darkhold. It's pretty on the nose, but it works. It has clearly infected her, clouding her mind, poisoning her judgment, taking away her ridiculous accent that she once in a while used in past films. That doesn't seem fair. It's at this point in the MCU that you are completely on board soaking in every piece of content from TV to movie or you are out of the loop and have no idea what's going on. The funny thing is I watched Wanda Vision and this still makes no sense. How they treated this character, Wanda is absolutely insane. If you're going to take a character who's been good through several movies and overcome some pretty harsh obstacles, you have to build up a better turn. You have to make this villain really believable. You can't just throw it at the end of a Disney Plus mini-series.  We have a synchronized drum line as our troops get battle ready. And Pokemon Taurus is here. Looks to be a shiny. There's a storm coming. The world is a vampire. Do not speak to me of sacrifice, Stephen Strange. She called him Stephen. That's how you know mom's pissed. The sorcerers put up a Harry Potter shield. The witch finds a chink in the armor in the form of a weak sorcerer. She whispers sweet nothings into his ear. Run. Yeah. And now this is the only way I can achieve climax. Hadouken. She throws a fireball, destroying all the shields. After busting up shop, Maximus steps on an inception switch, which sends her directly to jail.  Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest Olsen of them all? It's you, Elizabeth. It was always you. I'm not a monster, Stephen. I'm a mother. Oh my God. She starts bitching again about not having kids and how she'll scour the multiverse to grab some of her own, even if that means killing off the former version of herself. The MCU has done some pretty impressive character assassination over the years, but the botched job they've done on Wanda in this film truly chefs kiss. Stardust punches out another multiverse whole and her and Strange are off to the races again. They're now Tokyo rifting throughout the multiverse. I think Wanda threw a magic tracker on Strange right before he went through the portal. It doesn't really matter though. This VFX sequence is awesome. It's really good looking and it's also the exact same as the one we just got recently in The Rise of Shitwalker. Both are very cool 30 seconds of movie. There it is. And we're back. Welcome to New York. It's been waiting for you. We have a Sam Raimi standard cameo by Bruce Campbell. Sanding out hot dogs and insults.  He insults them.  Funny little retaliation until you find out it lasts for three weeks. This poor bastard's going to be lying or liaring himself for three weeks. He will be dead after a day. Look at how much damage he's doing to his body in this short amount of time.  And again, not a thought out joke because it makes our hero look insane. It makes him look incredibly disturbed. That man is dead by the hands of Strange. All for what? Hot dog? Strange and Chavez use a memory machine which bring him a little history lesson. Eggs Benedict is presented with a boring dinner date. And America gets a few more seconds with their moms. Lesbians. Hot.  Moms get absolutely wracked. Shot through a portal probably to their death. This is the MCU. Probably not. We'll see them in Avengers 25. They're off to see the wizard. The wonderful wizard of Strange. He might know where they can find the Who's a Whatcha Macaulet? I already forgot what they're doing. I think they're going after a second book that counters the Darkhold. But I think readings for nerds. So I started dozing off when they talked about books. Unfortunately in this universe Dr. Strange is already dead. Thankfully Mordo's here to save the day. Wait, Mordo? What? He was the bad guy from the first film I think. I forgot all about that movie. He's the Sorcerer Supreme here. And he came with notes. Very convenient amount of information for Dr. Strange to hear. He talked about how Wanda can now dream walk into different bodies using the Darkhold. He mentioned the mysterious Illuminati who we're going to find out more from very soon. I'm excited to see how much is left of this film before it's done. I just hope for the sake of the multiverse Wanda doesn't know about this cockamamie dream walkie and she's doing it already.  Mordo's betrayed Dr. Strange and America. He caused beat the punch, causing the screen to go all 90s stretch effect, knocking Strange and America out. At the new Wanda residence, the witch is coming by to babysit. Okay, this one is either being possessed right now or she's having one of the most intense orgasms of her life. For me, it's the latter. She checks on her two sons, who are bickering of course, as all kids do. And now they're singing the shittiest song I've ever heard in my life. I have a feeling that if Scarlet Witch spends even 20 minutes with these little brats, she might drop this whole Darkhold thing altogether. Just walk away, chalk it up is a bad idea. Call it a loss, become an Avenger again. It was just a blip, just a little bump, speed bump in her journey of life. Meanwhile, one of the surviving disposable sorcerers finds Wong. Instead of freeing him like any sensible person would do, she opts to destroy the book herself. It doesn't go great. Toasty! Both her and the book are destroyed in the process. Well, I mean, that's game over, she's a hero. Except for Wong informs the rest of us that that was actually a copy of the real Darkhold. Sure, okay, why not? Nothing really matters in this movie. It's the multiverse. Scarlet Witch Hanson is not thrilled about this news. And unfortunately, the Sorcerer Supreme was in the Wong place at the Wong time. In a polycarbonate prison. Universe 838 Christine speaks to 616 Doctor Strange. They number the universes here, it's a whole thing. Also, 616 sounds really close to 626, which is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. So it kind of throws me a bit.  Who's to say? Road Trip! Wanda and Wong or Wandaung for short. That's not great.  The current inhabitants are very welcoming, even bowing to the antagonist. A door carving has been erected in her honor. What, is she Mr. Beast here? That's someone people watch on YouTube, right? I'm relevant. Subscribe. Not as pleasant are the going-ons with the Illuminati. These guys are incorrigible. This group of highly skilled, highly intelligent individuals will surely not disappoint. Roll call! We have Captain, I Google this actress once a day, Carter. Random task. BLM Captain Marvel. Yes, two captains on the team. Quite a find. And Mr. Fanservice. And that pretty much rounds out the Illuminati- You should tell him the truth. Oh my God!  Phantasm! Through even playing the classic X-Men cartoon theme, we have the cartoon Professor X. This movie is now perfect. And don't worry other members, he brought his own chair. Because he's crippled. Back at Sauron's Tower, Wanda throws Wong up the side of the cliff. I guess the road trip's over. And he's surely dead because they spent two seconds showing him fall, a character who's been in several MCU movies at this point. Toss him over the cliff, he's done. Yeah, I'm sure he won't come back later. We learned that Dr. Strange didn't actually die at the hands of Thanos. But that of the Illuminati, they do give him the most honorable death one could receive at his level. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. He was yelled at. All right, mommy's home. And she's not happy. Dipshits assemble. Reed Richards, one of the smartest men alive, uses one of his very precious lines of dialogue to tell Wanda their most powerful member of the team can destroy you by opening his mouth. Black Bolt could destroy you with one whisper from his mouth. Smart. Very smart. I mean dumb.  She seals that cake hole up like Agent Smith did to Neo. He panics, like all great superheroes do, and gives himself a brain aneurysm. We have a real crack squad team here. Big Tuna gets paper shredded. Captain Carter says the thing. I could do this all day. And then is immediately killed by her own shield. How embarrassing. Captain Marvel's crushed by a statue. Feel like that death was a bit phoned in, but to be fair, this entire character is. So it fits. It's unclear where Professor X is at during this, how he didn't sense the danger and the trouble going on. Perhaps he took longer to get there because the place isn't wheelchair accessible. I don't know. Oh, here he is. Thanks for coming. He enters her mind, finding himself in a room whiter than my grandpa's high school yearbook.  And he's dead. It's a good thing we established this whole multiverse thing in the MCU so that nothing really has any stake or consequence. Anybody that's dead here can just show up in a different form. The possibilities are endless. And you can catch them all on some mediocre Disney plus TV shows. Wanda's back in pursuit. Now in her final form. Omega Karen. She pulls on Starburst's hair which opens a fresh portal. Strange gets thrown into one for the 80th time along with Christine. America gets to finally meet the real queen bee. The Avenger and futuristic tracksuit are in a pretty bad situation. They have been sent to a universe where two worlds have collided. Power Man 5000 warned us about this, people. We should have listened. Stephen enters Disney's haunted mansion. He looks to himself for help. It's confusing. This strange is guarding the dark hold which you can see in further detail by watching Disney's What If on Disney Plus.  Evil Strange reveals a third eye blind and now it's time for them both to face the music. Literally. Dueling pianos takes on a new meaning as the brothers Strange start hurling musical notes at one another. Sam Raimi went all in on this concept.  Oh my gosh, I forgot about Wong entirely. In a shock to absolutely no one. He's still alive. He uses Wonder Woman's Last So of Truth to pull himself up the hill. Wanda is really taking her time extracting those powers from Chavez. How long does this take, honestly?  He does all of this.   What's going on with you?   The Taco Sorcerer Supreme longfully suggests they take America Chavez's powers so that Wanda can't get them. But Doctor Strange isn't having it. He says no, we need to trust in America. Big mistake. Let's hope this works because Wanda just broke free of her pokeball and she's ready to fight.  She knocks her so hard she ends up in another universe. Ah, god, she's back with those bratty kids. Why does she want these little shits? Also, they're watching Bambi? Really? Out of all the offerings available, you go with Bambi? Come on. Elizabeth Olson is now touching herself. And so am I. Scarlet Witch understands what she has done and now she wants to put an end to it. Which means putting an end to herself.  No one checks to see if she's alive or not. She is. We know she is. And she'll return in Avengers 45. Benedict coming her butt, Sims for Christina a little more before saying goodbye to Wong and also America. The person, not the country. Don't worry. America Chavez will return in Avengers 18. The film ends with a classic Sam Raimi twist. Steven Strange falls to the ground and he too now has an evil third eye. Eye, eye, eye. This guy's a real looker. Hey, Quicksilver. I bet you didn't see that coming. Okay, I have to be done with this. We have an end credit scene, folks.  Strange jumps through the 45th portal of the movie.  Well, there you have it. Dr. Strange in the multiverse of mid-ness. A messy rushed sequel that barely focuses on the main character, focuses on ruining a secondary character and doesn't utilize Sam Raimi to his full potential. This movie feels very edited down. That said, I've seen far worse. Far worse.
