I Am A Contradiction
When I was a little girl my family could not get me to be quiet. As I got older and I began to portray myself as shy, which drove my mother crazy. She always said that she wondered “how could my little girl who could not stop talking get so unbelievably quiet when people come around?” I was seriously that child that stood in the kitchen pretending that I was a Food Network celebrity and talked my way through every meal, and I cooked a lot.

I love to learn but I dislike a lot of teaching strategies. And I love words but I don’t like to share them with others. But I think everyone has their own unique makeup and that is mine. I am my own blessing and curse but I have found a way to make every class that I have been in work for me and to always accept it as a challenge with open
