Oh Maya! My first new friend at Central - we had the same advisory (for 4 years) and then English 1 together freshman year - she helped me remember where my assigned seat was and also introduced me to new people since lots of her Masterman friends joined her. What I can say is she helped with my transition into a public school environment - it was definitely a big change for me - lots of freedom and no religion classes. Over the years we have grown closer, had our ups and downs, and although life happens - it was once comforting to know no matter what Maya was there in a time of need - ever thankful for the sounding board she provided. And today is her bday - HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY HONEY!!!!
Wow! Where did the time go?
12 years ago, if you asked me where I would be in life, Iwould have responded living in NY probably some big executive at one of thelargest PR firms in the world. Let’s fast forward 12 years - I am a wife,mother of three, and an administrative assistant and I couldn’t be happier.
These past twelve years I have stressed about life and whatI wanted to do and how I just simply wanted to be a great example for my threekids. I used to constantly worry about what people would say or think about me
being an unwed mother at 19. And then realized that it was the 20thcentury and not a scene from a 1950’s black and white movie.
Being a young mother I have learned being silly and makingfunny faces is fun; laying in bed all day and watching cartoons makes you cool; and stressing over tomorrow, next week, or next year will only give youwrinkles!
At 18, I thought I had my whole life planned. Little did Iknow God had a whole other plan for me. And you know what, I am not mad at him at all!
I love being a mother and I love being a wife. I am finallyat a job I actually love coming into every morning. My life at 30, I finally feelis complete. Yes, there are some things I am working on (busting my creditrating, going back to school, weight, staying in touch more often with myfriends, actually picking up the phone to talk instead of texting), but youknow what I am not perfect, I am only human. And I am realizing that is okay!
Aww thanks honey!!! No matter what u know I love u and will always be here for u!!! Wow I am 30 now!!! Lol Muah!
