Well where do I start, in 2003 my family and I moved to North Carolina from New York and soon after I settled in, I was called for a job at IBM, which I was very happy to work for, the pay was very good.

We had a beautiful townhome and a brand new car 2009 Ford Flex. Values are always important to me and I instilled them in my children. I would always tell my children each and every day,” go to school, do your work and mind your own business and remember you will never be successful without GOD and Education.” That was my saying every morning before they left for school and I would make my children repeat it so it was clear.
Everyone in school and the neighborhood had great respect for my family and me only because that is how we treated others. I always told my children if you want respect you have to give it, it’s never one sided. I would every now and then let my children have social parties; it would be a girl’s night and then maybe a boy’s night.

Me personally I never would socialize, my romance was put on hold, I was too busy, I’m a very private person and I also had my children to protect being I was raising then alone. So I was basically put all my time in my (6) children very little for myself. For me I wanted a better Career for myself, my grandparent, always said “you can never have enough education, no matter how old you get.

Unemployment was at an all-time high of 8.0 percent and rising.
