No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted

About Me

Ok, I don't know where to start, and I'll probably change this when I have more time, so make sure you come back for the revisions. lol I must say I am NEVER short for words and I love to write, but I guess it's a little weird when you have to write about yourself. Here goes-- I am an elementary school teacher. I absolutely love my job, well, I love my students and I love teaching, but unfortunately, there is some other "yuk" stuff that comes along with the profession. I guess that's true for most professions though. I cherish old-fashioned family values, strong morals and have a sensibly-grounded side. That aside, I love to and believe me, I know how to, have a great time. I believe my greatest strength is that I am a good friend to many. I have always been a good listener and my shoulder is always the one that friends come to cry on. I love to laugh, have a good time, and am always looking for a stimulating conversation or experience. I am truly a believer of the saying "Everything happens for a reason". Right now I am going through a divorce. Some days the transition is very hard, but as with every chapter in life, you should always look foward to the next chapter....and hope for a "happily-ever-after" ending. I don't have any children yet but I definitely want them and am looking foward to being a mom someday. Ok so as you may have gotten by now, my family and friends are very dear to me, yup,I'm a social butterfly and always look foward to meeting new people. Besides New Haven, some of my closest friends live in Stamford, Milford, and Bridgeport so I can be found pretty much anywhere on any given weekend. Right now I am feeling a little bitter that my summer is over and it's back to school time. It's always so hard to go back, although I am looking foward to seeing my students and to relaxing winter weekends.Hope I didn't go on too long lol stay safe and be kind! ONE! **** P.s.
