was the world's richest slave since they were paying me. They forced me to work full time and I had asked them if it was ok with part time but they didn't care about my school and I knew I couldn't turn down the job so I was like alright I got this. Worst part is I was working 6 days a week 1 day off. I was still in high school and they wouldn't accept my request for less hours. Their way of thinking was if you don't like the job there's the door! I dealt with their management and continued…

At the 10 year reunion, he thought to himself, ¨She's really a nice woman and I think I'd like to spend more time with her.¨ Have you met a nice woman? Did you want to spend more time with her? Did you date her? Have you met her at age 14 and started to date her at age 30? That is what Bill Boevers did. What started out meeting at a friend's sister’s party brought two young people together! There is always a time when you meet someone. It might have been at the mall, a restaurant or just at a…

new people he or she meets. Parents will feel lonely that their kid left their house, however with in time they will learn to live with it.

from revising their mission and vision statements to include more concrete language about diversity and inclusion. A study conducted by Wilson, Meyer and McNeal (2011) noted that 35% of the 80 schools studied did not have a diversity statement and did not mention diversity in their mission. Of the schools that did mention diversity, only 19% addressed racial or ethnic diversity. Wilson et al. (2011) concluded that institutions that include diversity statements in their mission send a message…

In the early summer of 2015 my mom, sister and I went to a family reunion in Huntsville Alabama. This was the second family reunion that I had been to in my life. I was happy to go up and see family that I had never seen before or heard about. Who knew that I had family in the state of Alabama? The first night of the reunion, my cousins and I were just hanging out talking about sports and the town that they live in. We were driving around the town and Shaun had mentioned going to the Mall the…

After a long year, I finally was back at La Semana, a week long adoption camp for kids from Latin American countries. After the joyous reunion hugs and hellos, I headed off to my classroom that I would be helping in. Glancing out the window I instantly knew that it was one of those picture perfect days. The sun already shining, and a cool breeze just strong enough to lightly brush through my hair. Back in the classroom however, the temperature was not so pleasant. In the doorway, a little girl…

is just that, veritably bringing them together all in one location. My mother’s side of the family is the family that does the uttermost leviathan family reunions. These family reunions have consisted of going to one another’s houses and making candy, going to one another’s houses and just hanging out, and the biggest of all, renting out a school for a Saturday afternoon to bake candy. We call this holiday Candy Day. Another, sort of dumbed down version of Candy Day, is where we go to our aunt…

As I think back to my “school days”, I realize that in the 9th grade I got a view of whom I wanted to be like as an adult. You may be surprised because well I haven’t achieved that goal yet. Let me explain: On the first day of 9th grade I became known as the goody too shoe that grew up in New York and “pretended” not to speak Spanish. Prior to that dreadful first day of school, I had lived and attended school in the United States from grades K-8. Although I was born in Dominican Republic, I was…
