i am a very determined single mother bound out to not be a statistic! lol...i have three beautiful children that inspire everyday of my life..they are the reason why i keep going. i graduate with my AA in the fall, then i transfer to ISU..im going to get my doctorate in criminology. i love art..i am an artist myself, but found out in cl that most artists do not become famous till after they p away. BUT i still draw all the time, and even had a piece in an art show..placed fourth, but yea its something, rite? umm i own my own house and live with my room mate who just happens to be my best friend. i love to help people..i was once told that i cant change the world, or the people in it..but i can influence them to do the rite thing, so thats what im out doing. i have goals in life, i call them missions or adventures..because thats what they are. ive been told that i need to slow down,,and due to that i have come to the conclusion that im not going too fast, and if so people must catch up with me. im not slowing down ne more...and i am to stay outside of the box...im better like that. i have a huge family... I am Italian...yes i know Italian mama, but hey, whatever works. I am NOT premiscuous..i believe that sex and love shouldnt be just something that sometimes goes together, they should be everything that goes together. one is not complete without the other, and one done without the other is painful for the soul. i also love to write, as you can probably tell. just ask me more about myself..i have a MYSPACE account, ask me for it and i will add you no problem..untill then, i will talk to you when you glance at me!! *nic
