Describe Myself....hmmm that's a tough one....well I am positively impacting the academic achievement, postsecondary preparedness, and personal-social development of New York City public school students. Being goofy with my son and sisters. Reading. Learning about self-awareness and resilience. Starting the night with Bells and ending it with Blue Moons. Discovering New York City. Coffee in the morning. Dancing salsa. Always have been a fighter. Sometimes feeling like a stranger. A little broken; but it’s ok everyone is a little broken. It’s hard letting you go. Dreaming of…. Puerto Rico. Warm weather. Ancient Cities. Love. A scrumptious brunch. Meandering through foreign countries. Latin fire raging through my mind and heart. My eccentric and loveable family. Would rather …. Learning in general. Having dinner with good friends. The perfect blanket coupled with the perfect movie. Spanish Plays. Did I mention I love a good bookstore? Aldo and Macy’s emptying my bank account. Things that smell good. Embracing my inner hopeless romantic. Mangos. Pancakes with strawberry syrup. Avocado sandwiches. Milk and cookies ice cream. Not let love turn to hate. Missing Summer days on the beach. Finding a new book that makes me smile, laugh, or cry. Lazy Sundays. The game of Life. The sound of the ocean. Striving to accept and embrace change. Campfires. Marshmallows. Fall – the colors, the crisp air, the changing leaves. Always and forever. Cherishing friends, family, and memories. Seeking to understand myself and others.
