My daughters
They give me unconditional love, my eldest(Ma'laylay, on the left) is the technology genius who supports me in all areas of cyber world. Whenever I get frustrated with connection to my classes, in her soothing and comforting voice she'll say,"Mom, mom just walk away and tell me what you need to get done. Mommy maybe you're tired and you've got to much on your plate. Take a break and I'll help you, TayTay(she call her sister) please get mommy something to drink"
Taytay (center) my youngest, always have a smile to share and randomly throw kisses and hugs and refuses to leave me alone if I'm in distress, or overwhelmed with my workload.
My sisters,cousins, and close friends who are always there for me through thick or thin. These woman are my cheer leaders, my pillars, my campaigners when all hopes are loss.
My parents
Arthur(left) my step-dad who treated me with respect and never let me felt like I was not a part of his world. Edgar(my dad) and Mae(my step-mom) surrounds me with love and the true value of family. These three individuals call everyday or they'll just pop up if they don't hear my voice 'or haven't seen me in a day or two. My parents still give me hugs and kisses and tell me how much they love and appreciates me regardless of my flaws.
My sisters, Heidi and Stacey who are always there to catch me when I fall, they keep me mentally, spiritually, and physically recharged.
The Dynamic System
Ms. Rosita (co- teacher, center) help me to bring balance to the classroom and my home. We have built a relationship beyond the classroom.This woman is like my sister,when I'm hurt,she's hurt, if I cry , she cries. We have establish a relationship that other teachers ,like Ms. Guzman( left),often say,"I envy you guys, you two work so good together, I wish I was on your team".
The interconnection of family , friends and other co-workers throughout the years had helped to shape the individual that I am today. As human we are born with the gift to socialize,nurture, and build relationships. The relationship that I have with my immediate family taught me how to build a positive relationship with others. The constant nurture that receive from my grandmother, sisters,dad,step-dad,and step mom I'm able to reciprocate the same to my students and everyone that intercept my path.
Wow Natalie!

Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Elizabeth
DeleteHi Natalie, I love all the pictures and close relationships you have with so many people in your circle. I too have a old co-worker that I have known for 10 years now and she is like my sister, I can say when we first started working together there was a few bummps in the road because we are both leaders but we overcame that and we are like sisters.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tiffany
DeleteHello Natalie,
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You have a big family. You can tell through all of your pictures that your family stays close with one another. I have been moving since I graduated from college, so I rarely get the opportunity to see my family. I build more relationships through work because of my constant moving. Thank you for sharing to us a par of your world.
Thank you Elijah
ReplyDeleteHello Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI agree, you really have a lot of relationships. I believe that relationships/partnerships are so important to our growth as individuals. They ultimately define who we are as people. Without them, as children being dependent on people from the moment we are born, we would die. In addition, through the years, these relationships remain important for continued growth over the course of our lives through what we contribute and what we receive from these partnerships.
