I try to ignore it, but eye strain and headaches motivated me to visit Dr. Aurora Barriga this week at Red Bluff Vision Cen- ter. I was speaking to Kiwa- nis at noon about Expect More Tehama and was nervous those eye drops that dilate your pupils would give me the look of a zombie. Dr. Barriga asked me what I was speaking on, and we had a great conversation about Expect More Tehama and her path to optometry. I only know Dr. Barriga as my optometrist, but I always enjoy her soft spoken confidence, her profes- sional appearance and how she works with patients and coaches her staff without missing a beat. She’s a natural at what she does. Students trying to figure out what they should do, study, pursue in life often think those in leader- ship positions just walked into those roles or had some type of advantage. The PBS program Road Trip Nation works to empower young people to talk to leaders they admire to learn about their path and to realize that there are lots of twists and turns along the way (visit www.roadtripna- tion.com). Dr. Barriga remembers as a teenager hearing from a teacher that she would probably just make a good housewife.A part of her believed it. After high school she wait- ressed and found she enjoyed the pace and working with people. But her older sister, who had pursued college, kept planting the seed. "You need to do something more. You need to get started." Another key person in Dr. Barri- join his office in a clerical position, utilizing her people and bilingual skills. He began to encourage her to return to school. "You can do it, Aurora. You have what it takes." Dr. Barriga didn’t go directly to college, and wasn’t convinced early on that she could handle the challenge, but those around her, Dr. Flynn and her sister America, did. Kathy Garcia Expect More Tehama is about encouraging more of the Dr. Flynn’s and America’s to keep it up. And students know that when they sit in that cool hydraulic chair in her office, that Dr. Barriga will probably ask them what their plans are down the road. Kathy Garcia is Business ga’s future was family friend Dr. Thomas Flynn, an optometrist. He saw her potential and asked her to Services and Marketing manager for the Job Training Center and on the Steering Committee for Expect More Tehama.
