So This is Fifty
I just want to throw it out there. I MADE IT! On January 9th, 2020 I turned fifty! It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. It only matters what I think. And I think “Thank you, God! I made it!” One of my sisters and her husband reserved a hotel room on South Beach so I […]

Keeping the Spirit of the Season Alive in My Life
Finally, I’m on vacation. Yesterday was exhausting. There are people in the world who think teachers are babysitters. Such false thinking. Too many activities and issues this past week.

Gifts Every Teacher Wants from Students
Every year my students inquire about my Christmas list from Santa. Every year I want to tell them what’s really on my list: a date with Shemar Moore, $1,000 gift card to Nordstrom, Barnes and Noble, Ulta or Amazon.com, and the raise that Miami Dade County

UTD Bullied Me At My Workplace
Yesterday, my workplace had an “emergency meeting” which prompted me to write yesterday’s post. You can read it here. Was there a repercussion for speaking my mind? You tell me. Every time there is a vote, the UTD steward has the voting take place at the cafeteria at one of the
