Happy Saturday. Yesterday was a wonderful day. My daughter and I spent the day together. I love my children with every sense in my body. I thank God for them. Life is truly worth living. When I look at my daughter, I know that I must continue to move forward, and only look back for purposes of learning.
Florida:
When my daughter and I left Arkansas, I knew that I was not interested in practicing law in Florida. I am an enterprenuer by heart, so I wanted to start a business. I decided to contact various organizations to network.
Prior to my move here, I got on the computer to meet someone that we would room with. There are many sites available for this, including but not limited to dating sites, Craigslist, Room-Mates, and other sites. I eventually met a Columbian gentleman, who had a place in the Aventura area. I also met a Jermaican lady who had a place available in Fort Lauderdale area. How do I choose? I preferred to live with a woman.
I got on the computer to investigate the schools in the area. I first went to the schools in the area where this Jermaican woman lived. The school in this area was primarily African Americans, and it was given a "C" rating by the state of Florida. On the other hand, the school in the Aventura area was mostly jewish and hispanics children, and it was given a "A" rating by the state. Which do you think I chose?
If you begin to develop a picture of me, you will know that I am an education advocate, so of course I chose the Columbian room-mate, for the sole purpose of my daughter attending a better school.
We ended up not actually rooming with this male Columbian, but a friend of his. It was quite interesting because his friend was a female, who never spoke to my daughter or myself. She would come in and leave and not speak a word. It was uncomfortable in the beginning. But my daughter and I soon got use to it. We knew that our time there was limited, so we made the best of our new home life.
The history of Florida is interested to say the least.
L. for Love
