Authority -nanny

When it comes to being a nanny, I consider myself an authority. Watching multiple children at a time is not an easy task. For a parent to put their trust in me, to watch and take care of his or her child, is not something to take lightly. While they are not home I am considered the authority. I am in command of the decisions being made for the time-being that they are gone.  Part of the definition of authority is persons in command.

Howdy, I was born in the small town of Rahway, New Jersey. I grew up there, going back and forth to New York, visiting my cousins in Brooklyn, running wild through the metropolitan streets. My family has never been wealthy, but I never knew that when I was a kid. Growing up in Jersey, we had everything. We had our neighbors, our families, our block party BBQ's that stunk up the small houses. When my parents told us we were moving to Texas, we didn't fight the idea. We saw horses and cowboys on TV. To us, Texas would be nothing short of a riot. What we didn't understand is that Texas was final. Texas was our new home. Moving to Texas meant leaving New Jersey. Through this misunderstanding brewed a deep, visceral hatred for Texas. It didn't help that we were introduced to racism, scalding heat, and having to pump our own gas here. It took a very long time for me to even like Texas. It wasn't until I was given my dad's old truck did I start to learn about where...

Blog #3 - Texas State Memory

Image
I have a love/hate relationship with school. I love learning and education. I hate the rules and regulations I'm forced to follow to get my degree. What I hate worse than being tested by the man, is exercise. So as a person with the body shape of the letter 'P', walking up the steepest hill to Old Main everyday for the past two years is actually the memory from Texas State that will stay in my memory for the rest of my life. Ever since I was a kid, I couldn't stand going to school. I just got bored with everything so quickly. I'm not saying I'm genius, I just get bored easily. However, I've always loved to learn. So when I started college, I quickly and foolishly realized that no one was there to hold me accountable. I stopped going and quickly faded out.  Cut to 2016 when I transferred to Texas State University to finally finish this chapter of my life, and , girl, it was a culture shock. So many youths, everyone walks everywhere, and, if you do drive...

My most cherished memory at Texas State

Image
What memory from my days at Texas State will I cherish for the rest of my life?”                 Texas State is the third college that I've attended. I graduated in 2013 and went straight to Texas A & M. Originally, I wanted to be a pediatrician because I was born premature and had a fabulous doctor. He made a lasting impression on my life along with so many others. I always thought that if he could help me, how much could I help another child? After almost 3 years, I had been accepted into the Biomedical Science program at TAMU. I was babysitting for a family friend who was also a Pediatric Emergency Physician at the closest hospital. After being invited to shadow him on third shift for a week, I decided that my heart was a little larger and that I could not save every child. In this moment, I had to reevaluate my career path. I had taken summer classes back home at Clemson University. At this point, I was already 2...
