Hello, Being in jail has force me to take a deep look at who I am. I wish I didn’t have to always obtain my knowledge through painful ignorance, but I guess we’re not all meant to learn the easy way. I have an inquiring mind with a deep- seeded need to know why things are the way they are. The clouds that overshadow some of my days are small, with lavish silver linings. I am particularly adept in any situation, getting a few things wrong here, solving them there. Social concern looms large in my mind with a desire to help people. My biggest flaw is that I put the needs of others before my own. I’m still finding out the hard way that my heart is bigger than my brain.
Image with same layout as previous. Main text: I have three beautiful kids that absolutely mean the world to me. So, I’m unapologetically committed to being the best version of myself for them to have someone to look up to. That starts with the small things that often times get overlooked, like listening. I have learned so much from my kids from just listening to them. Most parents (including
mine) and people in general don’t listen. They wait to talk and abandon listening all together.

are Honesty, Trust, and Loyalty. I spend my days reading, studying, and working out. Some of my interests are cooking, movies, and music. I’m really easy to talk to, and would love to get to know you, if I’ve peaked your interest.
The ability to speak two language has made me very world-mindful. I am a careful and analytical individual who's ready to jump in and help, often coming up with quick solutions. I'm a collectivist, I rather cooperate than compete which gives me a better understanding of myself. I dread letting people down in any kind of setting whether it's family, a team, or myself. I enjoy feedback because I'm always on the quest to improving myself and becoming a better version of me.
