In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?
I have always been taught work smarter, not harder so and everything that I have done I have always found ways to optimize my productivity with out, overdoing it on my body since I love working with children, the goal is to not over, lift them or strain myself in the process of caring for them. This way I am teaching them effort. Oh, responsibility for their bodies and their brains without hurting themselves, and using their smarts more than their ability to use their muscles your brain is the most powerful muscle in your body and using that is the greatest thing I believe you can use to accomplish things in life, along with common sense.
I like soul food, because I like the way we put an immense amount of flavor and the way we cook our food as Black people from around the world. I enjoy Hispanic tradition of food. Whether is Americanized or farming, Mexican countries because it has different flavors and it is Different in the way they put their ingredients with it their history and their family secrets in it. I love Thai food because of the way they put fruit to enhance the flavor in their food to make it taste flavorful and have a spice element with a sweetness to it also And I love Italian food because of the authenticity in it with the way they do their noodles, their spaghetti‘s, and most of their pastas whether it’s from scratch or processed it always has a genuine flavor that you can’t only say it came from an Italian restaurant or an Italian country There are several foods that I like, but these are by far my favorites.

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?
The first one is temple run two, the second one is Township, the third one is spades. The reason I like these three games are they make me think they keep my mind entertained and they help me to learn new things and I have to be really good and focus on playing them And engaging with other people in order to get the things I need to accomplish certain goals in my games which makes it even more fun. I don’t play them all the time but when I do, it becomes a crazy addiction and I can’t stop playing them and what are your games that you enjoy playing? One other game I forgot to mention is bop it that game is also so much fun.
I love foods that have a different kind of taste that are good for the body and gratifying to the soul. These foods keep me grounded and help me to stay on track, energized and moving forward. I love to cook and try new things try different types of seasonings and vegetables in my food this is because I was taught to enjoy my food not just gobble it down
The first surgery I had was minor surgery as a child. I walked past a shard of glass from a large, broken picture window. I sliced my leg along my calf leg on the left side. I had to be rushed to the hospital. I also had hand surgery from letting a fire cracker blow up in my hand. Another minor surgery where stitches were needed.This is before the time of numbing the area so I had to get several stitches and the held down in order to stay still. My next surgery, was when I had been in labor for two days. My son was being very stubborn and not wanting to get in the right position so my labor was being prolong until the core began to wrap around his neck from all of his turning so I ended up having to have a C-section on an emergency my next surgery after that was a planned surgery my daughter then a third C-section after that, I had to have a thyroidectomy because my thyroid was not functioning correctly, and had created a mass, the size of a potato in my throat (a goiter) and another mass the size of a football in my chest, which was causing me to not be able to breathe correctly and have fainting spells often so I had to have open chest surgery and throat surgery. After that one, I had a total hysterectomy because of problems with my uterus and anemia and bleeding problems. My body has been through quite a bit, but I would say it has all been worth it.
Spirituality is very important to me because God is life.
God has made my life worthwhile and worth living things haven’t always been easy but with him by my side, I’ve been able to get through a lot and not go over the deep end. I’ve had some very traumatic events in my life. I didn’t know what was coming next or what to do, but my faith and my belief kept me going. There’s so much more I could say, but I want him with this God is everything..
One of my most favorite moments was watching my daughter get the presidents award. The award hat President Obama‘s signature on it. She had worked really hard in school, and had really good grades, and for that she was rewarded with the presidents award. she got mini awards like the honor roll and perfect attendance Being talked about a lot. But that was one of many proud parent moment.
The struggle is now not forever
