Sometimes in life, things don’t always go as planned. Society, myself included, has this idea of a “life plan” that we all came up with when we were twelve. Graduate high school with the kids you have been with forever, go to the college you have wanted to go to since you were little and live it up with your new besties, get a great job in the city and move in with your college friends, meet the man of your dreams at a bar one night after work, get married- a black tie downtown Boston, have 5 kids- 2 boys and 3 girls and enjoy the rest of your life with your beautiful family and friends.

Many at times it doesn’t go as planned, maybe you don’t graduate college as soon as you had planned or you meet the right guy at the wrong time. These are all things that you have to either accept and move on from or take as a blessing and run with. It is not always the "bad timing" that we think it is, everything happens for a reason and even though it might not be the vision you had, it is now part of your journey through life.

Whether you choose to scrap the plan and take what God gave to you or push it off to a later date, you cant mess with fate. If its meant to be it will be. Life is going to throw you many curve balls and how to react to them is what matters in the long run.

Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
