About Me
- About Me: For my children I am a daily manager, teacher, physical fitness instructor, financial planner, buyer, personal chef, supervisor, clerk, attorney, negotiator, arbitrator, mediator, event planner, teacher of ethics, faith, morals and values. I am their counselor and psychologist on everything. My three sons are my partners in my community volunteering. Through my associations I have been able to be a better mother by involving people of my community. The success of my children is also due to those persons' involvement in my boys' lives and their assistance to me. My success can be measured by how the boys treat me, our relatives, their school peers, adults in authority and their community, as well as how happy they are with the choices they make concerning their personal accomplishments within their schools and the communities we've lived in.
