I have a hard-working husband who supports all of my endeavors, and two beautiful children who are growing bigger by the day. I work to balance this thing we call life, and it is not always easy. I am constantly looking for easier ways to do things, ways to save time, and stay organized. I work with inner-city students who have so much resting on their shoulders, but who deserve the same chance at becoming great readers and having amazing teachers as any other child in America. I work to show my students how many doors will open for them when they learn how to be great readers. I try to teach my students and my own children that good things come with time, dedication, and hard work. My family stretches far and wide across the country, and whenever I have the chance to see them, it helps me to remember how precious our family, our life, and our story is.I consider myself a champion of kindness, and I work everyday to show my kids how to make this world a better place. Life is difficult. I have had my share of curveballs thrown my way. There are things that happen in our lives that try to take away the joy that can be found all around us. Even with all of the trials and roadblocks, I continue to believe in the power of positivity. My own path has been rocky. For so many years I was stuck. I couldn't see where my path might be heading. We may not know for many years why certain things happen and where our path is headed. Our life may seem to be stuck in darkness for so long, but when we come to an overlook, and can see behind us, the purpose of events that happened, the reason certain people entered our lives, that is such a sweet moment. That is a theme in this story, a theme I hope that you can relate to.My wish is that all of you find your . . . Path to Happiness.
