I have learned to understand certain circumstances that are part of our lives; birth, love, learning and life and death. My story reflects on episodes of our lives; my marriage and divorce, my daughter's birth and development up until her second grade in school and hints of her life as an adult now. My perspective is different from others because I am an individual with unique experiences. I touch on decision making. I touch on emotions. I touch on sex and love. I am opinionated. I am culturally diverse. I grew up with two cultures which I have taken to heart. Both cultures offered what I think was best for me and my daughter. My father was an officer in the United States Army. My mother is a retired teacher with 35 years of experience. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, so were two of my sisters and the youngest was born in Massachusetts. I was brought up on military bases most of them in the United States.

I have taught high school, elementary school, middle school and adult education. I have also learned from my students. I am old enough to know better. And most importantly of all, I share something graceful.…
