I recently turned 37 years old. I’ve been on the same job for two years. I’m trying to stay on this job for five years. I like being a Mentor. I want to become a teacher or a children’s book author.
A Tale of Three Half Sisters is the memoir I wrote…
My last semester at NJCU in Edi Giunta’s Advanced Seminar Memoir Writing Workshop was an eighteen page memoir that was so important to me now is a book.
When I was a little girl I would not have thought that my life would have turned out the way it did.
I’m happy with my life though. I am writing a memoir. I started writing my memoir in my last two semesters in college.
I have come a long long way.
I managed to write a memoir that started as a 4,000 word memoir piece in college that is almost a book now. I’m proud of myself.
God is always with me.
That lets me know that there’s more in store for me. Life is a journey with good and bad. I’ve had a lot of good opportunities to feel good about after age 30. I’m thankful.
I didn’t know what close reading was until I was a junior in college.
I didn’t understand the concept of Close Reading.
Every step that I’ve taken has led to where I am now in the present moment.
I am doing fine. I am here now and that is something to celebrate. Thank God I am where I am. Don’t despise where you began when you think of where you are now.
I know that if I feel good about myself and I feel like I deserve to be happy.
The way people treated me would not even matter. I’m a success.
I remember the scene from The Color Purple where…
Harpo goes to the mailbox. Mail doesn’t come on Sundays.
It’s not a sundae.
Without the chocolate syrup!
