As tradition dictates, I am supposed to reveal seven things about me. So, here we go:
- I am one of 17 grandchildren (big family), not to mention that these grandchildren have a total of 22 great grandchildren.
- I have three beautiful children- Justin (16- Dear God, help me), Ayanna (14- ditto), and Zionne (7- my princess).
- I manage the inclusion program (special education students in a general education environment) at a NYC high school.
- I love to swim but rarely get an opportunity to go except during the summer. :(
- We are going to Disney later this summer (excited!).
- I love art (Impressionism, Surrealism, and all its many forms).
- I am Puerto Rican but have only had the opportunity to visit the island twice (once in the late 80's as a teen and in 2002 on my honeymoon with my wonderfully romantic and caring husband).
Hart Johnson- for her Nakedness and World Domination
Cruella Collett- for her Digressionisms
Tara Smith- for her procrastination, plus dithering and dathering.
365 Days of People- for being so observant and poignantly funny with sarcasm.
Becky's Book Reviews- for covering such a wide variety of books.
The WM Freelance Writers Connection- for having such wonderful ideas and being so supportive of Writing Mommies.
And because everyone else who I was to award this to has already received it, I will end there.
Thank you Rayna and Jan!
Congrats on the award! I didn't realize you helped out spec ed high school kids - awesome! I worry so much about my spec ed kids when they move on to high school.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Chary!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! 16 cousins! Or I guess a number of those are siblings... still--that is far bigger than my family. I have 6 cousins on the big side and only one on the other.
Thanks Chary! *superglomps*
ReplyDeleteI really need to do an awards blog post myself. I'm no award queen or anything, but I've had three (I think) in the last six months and I should really pass them on....
*procrastinates*
That IS a big family. I come from a very small family and those numbers just amaze me :)
ReplyDeleteJemi, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThere are many programs for students with special needs. We have inclusion, we have work/ transition centers, we have services like speech/ counseling/ physical therapy and there are also links to outside agencies like VESID (services for life) and YAI (Youth group).
Yes, it is a BIG family. Coordinating events is a nightmare.
Hart,
ReplyDeleteYup really BIG family. It started with my grandmother who had six kids and they took "be fruitful and multiply" literally. :D
Tundiel,
ReplyDeleteYour welcome.
You really should hand out those awards.
*raises eyebrows and threatens with Tami's dungeon*
