About Me

Former students! Show some love !



CURRENT MOON about the moon
I have two beautiful daughters and two wonderful grandaughters whom I love soo much! They are my world! They are half Puerto Rican, and the mix is a beautiful one! LOL!
My parents are both hearing impaired, so sign language is my primary language.
I have been the interpreter all my life. I also speak Spanish (told better than some hispanics...lol) and of course English.
I have taught in the NYC area for over 25 years ranging from pre-K to 8th grade. I love interacting with teens, for they need more guidance than most of us realize.
I get along with most people and like to learn about the different individualites that we have .. especially in NYC. Wish the world would understand our differences the way we do.
I am Half Irish, and half Yugoslavian ... though I identify more with the Irish side. But. since I grew up around Hispanics... that rubbed off on me too.... just a plain ole mutt I am.. LOL
I have a buried temper, so if you get to see it... look out! The Fighting Irish comes to play!

My Interests




My Dad planted the Met seed within me. Been watching them since a tot, and used to translate what the announcers used to say on tv- being that he was hearing impaired,
They had an awesome team last year and was hopeful for a better year... unfortunately-- there was a total break down! Oh Well, there is always next year!



I enjoy Broadway Plays, Concerts, and I Love my Music!
I also am very much into writing, especially poetry. Check out the "Writer's Cafe" box below for some of my work. Hopefully I will get them published one day.
I am a pretty good cook (Okay, I was told I am a damn good cook! LOL) looking for new inventives.
I enjoy Movies and some tv.
I am into web designing, learning more and more html each day.
When I am with someone I really care for, I dedicate my all!
Honesty is vital in whom I hang out with.

I'd like to meet:




I do love to meet different people who have things to share. I love learning about the diversities that are out there, their beliefs, foods, practices and their point of views. I would love to meet my former students to see what they are doing right now. I have quite a few former students who have found me on myspace and they are my buddies now... now that's a teacher's reward!

I do keep in touch with some of them, but would like to meet all of them all over again as adults. Positive influential people both from the past and present would be a pleasure to meet.

Books:



"

After reading Teacher's Manuals for years.. reading is not one of my favorite things lately.. but I do enjoy the vampire mysteries of Anne Rice. I like Drama and Mysteries.

Ahh, I love Thunderstorms!

How High Would I soar....
To the pulp of my fruit I would feel the sweetness
Welcome as I embrase you ...with all my weakness
And take you into the whole that lies deep within me
Take all pressure, the wonder, and fill it with glee

Complete and solid , no hollowness, no dream
For this is as powerful as it may seem
As I enjoy this feeling, this mighty high
That takes me and holds me, no more reason to sigh.
For I'd hold on to my sense and continue to fly.
"By Me"

Heroes:



God....!!!

All those who made a dent in the fight against oppression and racism, MLK, JFK, Elanor Roosevelt, "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission." -Eleanor Roosevelt-

And the best for last... My Dad, may he rest in peace.
He showed me the world and all the humor in it.
Love you always Daddy!
