My Family at Home

      My home is where family come together, we assemble on a Sunday for fellowship and dinner after church. Gathered together are sisters, cousins and friends old and new, all coming together to laugh play games and tell stories.  At my house you will find people in just about every room. a seat where you can, some on chairs, while some gather on the floor, some around the kitchen table or in the living room. it is full of hungry children and adults.

Mom or to some I’m called Mema, you will find me in the kitchen over the stove preparing a hardy meal for my large clan.  You would think it was thanksgiving at my house.  The kitchen will have an aromas of fresh greens with smoked turkey wings, bread in the oven or a cake in the oven for dessert The children are running in and out of the house shouting at one another. The adult is sitting around reminiscing. The game or a movie playing on the television as well.

Once Dinner is ready we would all gather around the dining room table and have grandpa would bless the food. Everybody loves it when grandpa bless the food, because it will be definite be short, after dinner we all gather in the living room and play games, or some would just lounge around and some sleep.

In this house you will find love, laughter

and enjoyment. Always looking forward to the next time we come together again.

My Education Memory

     My education knowledge was very limited due to dropping out of school in the 9th grade.  I have only a few memories of elementary school, middle school or high school.

My best memory was elementary school science teacher who made science class fun and worth remembering. There was also a middle school shop teacher, and he gave a an interest in working with creating thing of wood and ceramic with my hands.

Me enrolling in Northampton Community College will be the start of a real memory of education and literacy, and so far I am enjoying every moment. I am learning some valuable information so far in this class, how to write stories about my fellow classmate, create a blogs and how to put my own thoughts down on paper.  This I had no remembrance of.   So this class is giving me a whole new look at education and literacy that I have never seen before.
 

Kyle the Hockey Player

 
I meet this wonderful young man name Kyle
Wambole in my English 101 class this semester, must I add he is very handsome too; he will make some very lucky lady happy.







Kyle grew up in Pennsylvania, he had one brother and his name Clint who is three years older than me. Clint was his hero, they became best friends. He would follow Clint everywhere. He the person that introduced him to hockey. Hockey was the sport that changed his life forever.  
  




Kyle's brother Clint was a hockey player and I want to be just like him, he began to teach him how to play hockey and fell in love with the sport. He would dream about hockey and there began his passion and desire to become a professional hockey player. He would play with my big brother and his friends and was very good at it too.







His love of hockey took him too many states. Kyle had a game in Wyoming and there is where his dream came to a halt and the dream of becoming a professional hockey player had ended. He fell and his knee was hurt, not able to get up. At that moment he knew it was over. Hoping he was wrong, but  in his heart I knew it so. He have seen so many other games and player; he knew my outcome. He was devastated.  This ended his dream of becoming a professional hockey player.

 

Kyle had now had to rethink his life and where or what he was going to do.  His goals had to be changed. There where lots of encouragement from family and friends, so after some thought he decided that he would be become an accountant. So he enrolled in Northampton Community College. And  hope to transfer to Cedar Crest or Kutztown University someday and get his degree in accounting.  Kyle loved number and solving problems.


But please know that his love for hockey is still there, and he still played with his brother and friends.  I also enjoy going to games. Just watching the games brings he satisfaction.
