The Close Call
Have you ever had something so life changing happen but almost miss it? Well that was one of the most craziest moments of my life, but I’m getting ahead of myself. It was October, the blazing heat of the sun shined upon my family and I as we had a pool party in our backyard. Suddenly, my brother and his girlfriend said that they had a special announcement:They were having a baby! I was so excited because since I was the youngest among four children, I didn’t have any younger sisters or brothers to hang out with. Since I was only ten at the time, I was as happy as a child opening presents on Christmas morning. I was going to be an aunt and this life changing event head on.

Crippling Our Youth
I agree with this post for a variety of reasons. I'm sick of seeing parents encouraging their kids to dress and act like this at such a young age. They're not ready for that. They're too young to allow their emotions to be affected by likes, shares, reactions, etc. Social media has already caused a lot of mental health issues for thousands across the world, already from teens to college kids, to even some adults. Social media is great for staying connected, but its dangerous for anyone who is using it for purely for an emotional addiction.

If you are the parent/guardian of a child (birth to three years) currently receiving special education/therapy through The Early Intervention program, please ensure that you begin the Turning Three process with The New York City Department of Education Committee on Preschool Education (CPSE) at least four months prior to your baby's third birth.

Life is too short...
It’s strange when you sit and accept that life is just a bunch of days strung together. Created and maintained by memories, and little things that turn into the big moments, that you have the power to create. That is the thing about life, it’s a gift, and is so fragile, precious and unpredictable.

I’ll Always Hate Zucchini
I’ll Always Hate Zucchini “Drop the zucchini and run,” said my mother, before we lost her on that first night of our holidays in Mexico, “it’s the only thing I can do.” I was ten at the time and had poked my head around the corner, thinking everyone else was asleep as the cursed vegetable rolled on the ground.

The Day My Brother Died
Your sweet eyes knew the darkness in a soul. You suffered for your sanity. I am reminded of the lyrics from “Vincent” by Don McLean, “they would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they will listen now”. I still see your face the last day you were on this earth. You looked like an old man who had seen the worst in humanity, sallow, not at peace. Your eyes opened one last time, in a moment of shock before closing forever. I remember the sounds, the smell of the room, the colors of the lights. I remember the feeling in my heart that was so painful. I swore to you that day I would never let you be forgotten. Your life mattered. My sweet brother. I wish I had known you better. I suppose I am one of those that did not know how to listen.
