We Are Who We Are

We are all a little different

We Are Who We Are
IAI

In this time of our lives we seem more divided than ever before. People seem to think that everyone has to be the same to be accepted. What happened to loving people for who they are?

we all have our gifts.

Some of us are very smart

Some of us are very creative

and some of us still have skills that no one knows about

some of us have money to spend

some of us need a money lend

some of us can play a sport

and some of us can sing a song

some of us have eyes of blue

but brown and green are beautiful too

Some of us are nice and stout

while some of us have stayed thinned out

Some of us are the life of the party

and yet some of us get the most energy from a quiet evening at home

What is the point of this little poem

We are all pretty different in very different ways

but we are all human

we all have our place in this great wide world

and we all make it go round

we all should treat the world the way we want to be treated

we should all sing to the common song of love and acceptance

Love and acceptance is what we need

if positive change is what we seek

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.
