aside from the chiari malformation, which is enough to cause many difficulties, but not a serious issue; I have also taken many serious head injuries. This includes all abuse when I was young and a car accident that the doctors are still baffled about how I lived. Once I was lucid again, they gave me a 10 year expiration date as a vegetable. That was 14 years ago, this past September 29th.
I can do most things that I used to, except dance and play sports for an extensive amount of time. My head and back are a constant issue. My memory suffers a little, but I won't let things hold me down for long.
In the last 4 years that it has taken me to get away from the kids' father and try to get back on my feet... I don't know what happened to me. I lost much creativity, the positive warrior attitude, and vision. I know where I am, I know where I want to be, I know that it is very attainable... I am petrified to wake up each day. I have been through a lifetime of therapy to the point that I can tell myself what I need to know, without the doctor.
I am lost, yet determined to be found.
I'd like to be a full time writer, business owner and activist of sorts. For many years, I served on the Philadelphia Youth Panel for Anti Violence. I've trained people on how to get jobs, in a program that I used to volunteer in, I am an environmentalist of sorts, and the official "kool-aid mom" of the last 3 years to many children.
Until this past July, I built and taught Christian curriculum on all levels upto 18 years of age.
Now that I do Avon, I am trying to utilize that to do fundraising in the community. They also do many other fundraisers that are not advertised, as a result of Reese Witherspoon being their spokeswoman, and what she believes in.
What I haven't yet covered, I think is summed up by telling you that I am an active boyscout mom as well. Of course, when my son has something to do, our whole family does it.
I have worked in everything from a major in retail ops & mgmt, food service, peer guidance counseling, proprietor, street lawyer, early childhood education, juvenile justice education, debt collection, job retention, custodial and many forms of art and production
I hope this gives you a better understanding of who I am.
