It's My Time

Abstract

Baking, like baseball, requires immense amounts of practice to become great. Raoul Rodriguez, a first-gen graduate from CSULA, employs his love of both to illustrate joy in his life. The unfolding narrative captures the confidence, self-love, and conscientiousness that Raoul has developed and continues to work on. The joy characterized in these narratives is inspired by the surrounding characters that supported Raoul on his journey to finding measured self-confidence.
