Summer of Love

Excited to make my first visit to Poplar Hill Farm, in Jefferson County, Mississippi. Little did I know that I would fall in love with this rural community and many years later be asked to do research work with some of the most wonderful people, that became friends. Armed with hundreds of questions, anticipation and youthful curiosity. Open and receptive to all the stories, they were willing to share, trying to understand their life and the lives of their ancestors, what I did not know…

could be that summer internship, you miss out due to the fact you got a C- instead of your peer who got an A.

I was putting all of these in practice…

Most of my life I have allowed others to define me. Not only did I let others assume who I am, I even would (still do) let others make decisions for me. The summer of my junior year I let a lot of people assume things about me. It was an important summer of finding myself in terms of my sexuality. That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day…

The gelid snow was piercing into my body. And there I was, at the Semi-finals of my second junior Tennis tournament. The first time I had been to a tennis tournament, I did great. Considerably greater than I expected. I was eleven years old in the summer of sixth grade and I was a semi-finalist at the USTA (United States Tennis Association) junior tournament. Could I have won that tournament? Of Course I could have. If only I had realized that sooner. But there was something missing in my…

“The Blue Lankia starfish is so distinct when It comes to salt water that you can’t find those anywhere else. I got started around 1992 and the country was in a recession and there were really no jobs, especially for ex-military.
