Writing is my choice of drug.

Words are the cadence of my existence.

seriously considering…

Moving to a different state and starting over. I’ve had the urge to just get up and go for a while now….ignoring that urge, I may just be selling myself short. Having a family of my own makes me urge for that change even more. Break the cycle, living conditions, barriers. I want to do it all just not in NJ anymore. So I’m looking into it. Getting advice from a couple people I know who live out there. I NEED to see what my options are. 

Praying on it!

I hate….

having to wait……

I like..

the idea behind KIPP and the Newark Charter Schools. The fact that they focus on the underserved communities and the students regardless of the previous academic record makes me believe that there is some hope for Urban education.

I am…

exhausted. mentally. physically. emotionally. I can’t remember the last time I slept at night.

Let’s see..

- Last month I applied for a teaching job at a school in Newark. Last night, as I checked my email I realized I have a 45 minute phone interview on the 27th. I’m excited and nervous. If it is for me, God will bless me with it. If not…it ain’t my time.
