I love my one and only grand daughter Mary Elizabeth, who is 10yrs old, and my one and only daughter Shereese, who is 37yrs old. I grew up in Chicago, Illinois at 7531 south May street. My dad worked CTA bus company, driving CTA buses, and he bought a home four us four children, and my mother in 1963. We were the first black people in the community. And my dad and mom are catholic. So my parents, sent us to Saint Sabina Catholic School in 1963. I went to Saint Sabina Catholic School, from 1963 to 1972, and me and my sister, and brothers all graduated from Saint Sabina Parish. Monsignor Mc Mahon was over Saint Sabina in 1963 to 1972. I had a lot of white caucasian friends, some I would visit, and there parents, would feed me and my sister, and we had a lot of fun, playing with dolls, and toys. I had a beautiful white friend, with long blonde hair, named Angela, in about the 6th grade, she gave me a labador puppy dog. She told me to come over to her house, and pick the puppy I wanted. So me and my sister went to her house, her family was so kind, and her brothers, made us laugh, they liked to do accrobats, on the ground and flip upside down, and make comedy noises. My family kept and took care of the labodor dog for about 14 yrs, the dog out lived my mother, my mother passed of breast cancer in 1984. My mother was a home body, she took care of us, and nutured us. Thats how it was in the 1950's and 1960's, the man husband, let the wife stay home, and take care of the children. I worked for Chicago Police Department 911 emergency response team for 13 yrs, first I was a crossing guard, from 1990 - 1995, then I took the 911 emergency test with the city of chicago, in 1995, and passed the test. And I was promoted from crossing guard, to 911 operator, in 1995, I worked as a 911 operator until march of 2003, and I quit, because, me and my family move to Atlanta, Georgia. We stayed for a short period of time, and decided Georgia, wasn't were we wanted to stay, and moved back to chicago. I tried to get back on with chicago police department, and I had to test again, and unfortunately I didn't pass the written exam. So I took the no child left behind examination, to work in public schools in illinois. And I passed the examination, and I worked, for about a year, in Springfield, Illinois, for grades kindergarten, through eight grade from 2008 - 2010.
