When I grow up, I want to be just like her!

Since beginning my Diploma in Early Learning and Child Care at Mico University College, I have had the privilege to meet some wonderful lecturers, but one stands out more than the others. She has been an inspiration to me, I am making an effort to be like her,  I find it very challenging, but I am not a person that give up very easily. 

I admire her because she emanates a strength of character that will overpower you if you do not know how to appreciate it. When she speaks her words come out with such power and direction, you just cannot help but hang on them as if they were your means of survival. She carries herself in a manner that demonstrates grace and prowess, and you cannot help but recognize her presence. She is respectful of others, and commands respect from others. She radiates an energy and vibrancy that just cannot be ignored.

I just want to thank her for entering my life at this stage when things are really rough and times are trying, because she is the lighthouse that is showing me the way to shore.

When I grow up, I want to be just like her!

Forever giving thanks to God!

Good Morning, and I hope everyone is enjoying their lives. A lot of people are very disappointed this morning because they woke up, as the doomsday apocalypse, which was predicted by Harold Camping, has not come to pass as yet. Many spent the last few hours on Friday night in churches, taking on baptismal rites, trying to make themselves right with God before the detrimental end.

I, on the other hand, am very pleased and happy to be here this morning. Why? I take these happenings and occurrences as proof of the truth that is written in the Holy Book, The Bible, because we are warned in many scriptures of the false prophets who will come forth with false proclamations of the second coming of Christ and the ending of the world.

One lesson I have learned from all of this is that no matter how educated most of us in society think we are, we still  have great problems in understanding what we read. No matter what segment of society we are from, we all have to deal with "educated fools". Why do we allow these people to lead us? Do we have what it takes to take initiative, take the lead in our actions? Why do we always depend on another person's "valid opinion" to make critical decisions in our lives? It is a sad reality, but,  where do we go from here?

I will, forever, give my praise to the Almighty God, for everything and every experience he has provided me. Whether good or bad, because these things have molded and shaped me. To Almighty God I give thanks.

Really, who am I?

An excerpt of

the autobiography of Tamieka Cheryl Peart, written as a study of myself, in search of myself

Chapter 1

Tamieka Cheryl Peart born on the fourth day of February in the year 1977, to parents Henry Alton Peart and Ivy May Bilton, is this it? Does this make me, me? This is only the beginning of my journey. At age thirty one and a quarter, I am in search of myself  but I do not think I am that hard to find, it's just that the story of my life so far is a long one, for I have experienced many adventures, heartbreaks, happy times, miserable times, but am still not where I want to be as yet.

I am the fourth child of five for my father, the last child of two for my mother; my siblings are Dionne, Shelly, Camille and Henry JR. (father) and Andrea (mother). You would think that we were all loving sisters and brother, no, we were all miserable rivals competing for the love our parents did not have to give to us. Dionne, Shelly and Camille are the results of my father's previous marriage to their mother, Andrea is the product of a relationship that went bad for my mother, and Henry JR. was conceived by a woman during the period of time my mother and father had a common law relationship.

I have no memories or recollections of my life before the age of three; there are some photographs that tell a very concise story, and also the very popular hearsay from my parents, so I consider that to be irrelevant to my memoirs.

My birth certificate states that I was born at the Spanish Town Hospital in the parish of St. Catherine. I have been resident at Lincoln Road in Passage Fort ever since I can remember.

Happy Mother's Day

Good Morning
Today is a very special day, today is the day which we set aside to honour one half of the parental unit, our MOTHER. "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" to all mothers and may God bless you.
