The last three months have quite an interesting journey for me. I had the privilege of working with children who have various physical, mental, and emotional challenges. The experience and time that I spent with them was priceless. I developed wonderful relationship with each of the students I worked with.

As beings that inhabit this planet, we all have the right, as innocents, to learn, grow, and become who we are. Malicious acts such as this should not be tolerated. Ac... read more

Sometimes when we lose something, we just have to start all over. That has been my situation with my online profiles and blogs this past couple of weeks. Somehow, I lost my account on MySpace a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t sure why, so I tried contacting customer service. To no avail, I ended up searching for a new profile/blog site.
