My First Blog!!! Yay!

Hello All!!


I have decided to start a blog centered around me!!!  This blog was inspired by a english class that requires us to start a blog. When asked what I was going to blog about, I made a decision to blog about me!!  I know what your thinking… "She a bit conceited" but I am far from it. I actually just feel like as people we all have one thing something in common… We are humans. We are not just black, white, hispanic, fat, pretty, rich or poor we are people. I hope that by me opening and sharing my different life experiences will allow you all to see a little of you and show the common thread among one another.


Anyhow, my professor will have specific topics for us to write on and so each week, I will be back with a new topic and a new story.


I am going to  end my blog with a quick synopsis about me, I am 24 years old. I have a four year son that keeps me busy!!  I currently am working two jobs, one as Program Coordinator for a group home in Randolph working with girls that suffer from mental illnesses and are developmentally delayed. I love this field because I can connect personally with due to my mother suffering from Bi-Polar.  It was hard as a child growing up but it definitely made me stronger. It also inspires me to let others know that you can live with this illness and be productive!! My mom is currently working and has been for the last 15 years at the same job. She was able to eventually purchase a home (which she lost during the housing crisis), buy a car, but most importantly raise her children!! She has not had a episode in over 8 years!! She has been doing well and is very happy!


I am excited to start this blog and allow you to take a peek into my fun little world!
