Cleaning up!

Here's my new workplace! Clean, sanitized and organized!



Bits and Pieces

Oh, I almost forgot about this. It was my 2nd year teaching in a district in New Orleans, this time, I was assigned to an alternative middle school setting, where over-aged students were placed, aka, worst of all!


6 years after

For a long time, I’ve embraced Leo Buscaglia’s “An investment in life is an investment in changeWhen you are changing all the time, you’ve got to continue to keep adjusting to change, which means that you are going to be constantly  facing new obstacles. That’s the joy of living. And once you are involved in the process of becoming,  there is no stopping. You’re doomed! You’re gone! But what a fantastic journey!” and change it is! 

Boomerang!

Funny, how our thoughts become our reality! I was just reminded of the experience, years back.


I went to pull out this kid for testing; I've tested almost all of the students in my area in preparation for their education program. The minute he sat down, I knew this kid, let's name him Bill, was different. Unlike all the other students who would just sit down and answer the test. Bill, was different. 

What happens in Vegas... stays in the photos Lol!


Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens

Thanks to the generosity of a friend who recently moved to Las Vegas. For the first time, we didn't need to book a hotel while in Vegas! :)

The next day, we went on a trip to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens. 


This is the only Ethel M factory in the world.
 
Forrest Mars Sr. named the brand after his mother Ethel, who made chocolates from scratch -- right in their own kitchen.

While waiting...

To those who have followed my journey here in the US, here’s the latest…



But, let’s go back to the memory lane first...

God is in control!

All things work together for our good.


All worth it!

Sometimes, just like today.. I am asking myself if this is all worth it?

I mean, coming here in America only meant one thing: for our family to be together.

Learning Life's Lessons!


While reminiscing my teaching experiences, I've written this post.....

The PERM Process


An H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa in the United States; this visa allows US employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations; this is good for 3 years and extendable to 6 years. 


The Phone Call


I could still remember the phone call I received almost two years now. I was driving on the way home when the cell phone rang. I wasn't supposed to pick it up but the number was coming from New Mexico. There was just this feeling that it was from the school I applied just a week ago online.
