About Me |
"Beginnings are usually scary, endings are always sad, but it's the middle that counts the most." - unknown
Though I'm currently a transplant to Pennsylvania, I'm a California girl in my heart and will always love my home state. Pennsylvania provides the 4 seasons which can be good or bad, LOL. I do miss my California summers though. :)
I am currently a substitute teacher. I previously spent 10 years in the field of education, where I have been an aide and an E.S.L. (English as a Second Language) instructor at a local elementary school. I worked my way through college during that time and was able to apply the skills I was learning through my coursework. This I believe is a much better way to become a proficient teacher than just student teaching alone. Immediately apply what you learn and see what works and doesn't. I love working with children! What a wonderful opportunity to see them learn and grow each day.
I have acquired a new interest. I learned about Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop this past December. Wow! What wonders one can create. I wish I had more time than I do to "play" but alas, r/l does come first, LOL. :)
I am a part-time seller on eBay. Right now we are mainly trying to clean-up excess. I'd rather not clutter the world with my junk in a land fill, and someone else may truly need that item, besides, I could always use a little extra cash. I don't make much as a substitute.
I am the oldest of 4 children. I have lost 2 siblings in tragic deaths, which only makes me realize just how fleeting life can be and how we should enjoy the precious moments we share with those we love.
My sister, Cindy, was killed by a car on my way out here to Pennsylvania. She was only 14 that summer and would have been entering her sophomore year in school.
My youngest brother, Chris, was hit by a car when he was 10 years old. He survived, but had many, many life changes because of this and eventually gave up life here with us on earth when he was only 27. He does have a wonderful son, who lives on the east coast, though I have only met him once. He's a sweet kid and looks soooooo very much like my brother, it's incredible.
To say I'm an over protective parent would be putting it mild, LOL. I try to give my ONLY child the wings she needs to grow, but still keep her close to my heart to protect her. I cannot always do that and I have to trust that she makes the right decisions based on what we as parents have taught her.
My other brother is only 13 months younger than me. He still lives at home; we won't talk about that, LOL. His daughter is less than 2 months older than my own.
Life is what you make of it and if you cannot see good things through the bad, life will always give you struggles. You cannot have the rainbow if you don't also take some rain. Life can't knock you down unless you forget to get back up.
Smile and have an awesome day!
Hugs

Making a little extra cash |
What a great idea...earn some cash for on-line interaction with others! What an exciting concept. I belong to a place where I can get money just by having other people view my pages or pictures or blogs...it's a really cool idea. And you can ear some money too, it's easy and FREE....
