Every summer I vow not to overwhelm my summer with work. And I mean to stick with it so I can spend time with family and get things done around my house (and relax too). But right before the summer, people realize I am a free and offer me the most amazing opportunities to work […]
Wednesday, June 12th, 2013Sentiments
June always makes people sentimental. I received this from an old student. Ms. XXXXX, I hope that all has just been splendid for you. I really am grateful for all of the skills you taught me, not only in computer science, but also in being a genuine and true hard worker. I sometimes find myself […]
Tuesday, June 4th, 2013Two years later
June 4, 2011………I hate June 4th. The world lost a beautiful girl. She would have been picking out a prom dress and graduating high school this year. I wish I could wipe the date off the calendar or get a redo. RIP Aileen Chen
Monday, June 3rd, 2013Blessed to Be a Teacher
Some days my students really amaze me. Today was one of those days. I love days when they shine and really put their all into their work. It’s the end of the school year and I am tired, but so proud of them and blessed.
Saturday, June 1st, 2013Beaches In Brooklyn – Not So Great
Manhattan Beach and Coney Island Beach are both popular and well populated beaches in the summer. But they are kind of gross. The water is filthy and too nasty to swim in……for me anyway. I go to the following beaches: a) Lido Beach in Nassau Country – it’s 35 minutes away (exit 19 on the […]
Thursday, May 30th, 2013RIP Gabrielle Molina
Queens – another child lost – senselessly – to bullying. Even after we teach kids not to bully, some are still bullying each other. Parents aren’t watching closely enough because computers have become babysitters. The world has changed and the laws needs to change so that children are protected. RIP Gabrielle Molina.
Thursday, May 30th, 2013CitiBikes – NYC Initiative
I love this photo. While the tourists are taking pictures of NYC, I took a picture of the new Citibikes. They will bring NYC a good amount of cash that no one will ever see. To use these bikes all over NYC, you can either pay a yearly fee, a weekly fee or daily […]
Thursday, May 30th, 2013Thank you Bay Ridge!
Bay Ridge I couldn’t thank you enough for having my back! I appreciate the immediate phone calls, texts and your contacts. It’s good to know that so many strangers would reach out to me when they knew something was wrong. I don’t think his wife knows what he is doing because she’s an educator and […]
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013Lickity Split
We had an amazing weekend. When we saw our house the first time, I loved everything about it except the bathrooms and the doorknobs. The bathrooms had recently been redone before we purchased it, but the main bathroom had a pedestal sink and that’s just not my style. I know many people love to put […]
Thursday, May 16th, 2013Republicans for Change – Not So Much Bay Ridge
Hey how many of you were lucky to get the Republicans for Change Mailing? What’s that you didn’t get it yet? I don’t think you are missing anything as it looks like the group running it is exactly the people who we need to change so we can have some progress in Bay Ridge. There […]
Monday, May 13th, 2013For Family – Who Saw What We Saw this Weekend
A closed box – an envelope in his writing – a wad of cash – Found on one of the most important days of the year…………just a sign that he is looking over all of us. * I was lucky to have known him and been loved by him. * Hop over to the […]
