Enjoying Everything Life has to Offer

I value the many gifts God has given us in order to be productive citizens. Life is a precious gift and I'm continuing on this journey not only to explore, but also to instill knowledge into every person that I see along the way. Living in Florida for 10 years has been a very intersting and magnificent experience. Divesity is one of the most beautiful parts of life and while living in such a diverse state I've learned to accept people for who they are rather than what they look like. I taught 4th grade for 5 years in Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood, FL before moving back to Connecticut 2 years ago to assist my elderly mother. It's been extremely overwhelming at times going back and forth to the hospital with her, but through it all God has given me the strength. I also have a 4 year old son that is my LOVE, JOY, & REASON for continuing on this journey. LIFE is what you make it. I hope to become a better parent and a more effective teacher while living it.
