Serieka White -Lawson

Living, loving and laughing.

I can't forget that fight at eighth grade between X and I. Can u imagine me fighting. My mom would kill me if she ever found out. I can remember taking that watch to school that I was warned not to ( show off). It got stolen-we had P.E. Classmates ran the bible and key and it spin wen X name call and trust mi, mi nuh Know wha get over mi but a jus grab har. Haaaa, growing up in a christian home and all, anything fi do wid the bible mi believe it. So mi jus grab har. I had some pretty good classmates though so it was kept quiet.

I still communicate with Verlyn Hinds-James and also see her from time to time. I talk to Patricia Finigan and Keisha McCarthy from time to time via Hi5. I see Kalilah Morrison from time to time whenever I go to her place of work to do business.

Well, I went to Portmore Community College where I did a course in General Business. Worked at the International Travel Service for awhile. From there I moved on to teachers college where I pursue a course in Primary Education. Teaching has become my passion. It gives you a sense of accomplishment whenever you move this present generation from one level to the next. It's not easy but they need to know that there is someone who cares.

I got bored of the office and eventually went into teaching. It worked out for me because I adore children. They can be very rude at times but there is never a day that I don't have something to laugh about or at. Don't get me wrong they laugh at me sometimes. I guess its pay back time. What was the name of that Language teacher at grade ten who wanted to recommend quite a few of us from our class to do BASIC LANGUAGE in C.X.C. I can remember laughing at her and being ran out of her class.

I had no idea. I guess I wanted to be what my parents wanted me to be but that never happened.

Tour the world. I hope to do it some day.

Acquiring a career and a wonderful husband.

live love and enjoy all that life has to offer and in the midst of it all put GOD first.

Anywhere where there is fun and relaxation.

Netball competitions, P.E., concerts and Sports, sitting under the almond tree.

Getting in trouble with Mrs. Alexander in the Science Lab. of course I was innocent but she wouldn't listen to me.

Being punished by Mrs. Alexander for something I didn't do, won't get into it.

Raiding the cherry orchard in the early mornings before Ms. Barbara Martin gets to school.

Under the almond tree. Going out with my friends, Bop, Finigan, Zereka, Marsha-Lee, Natalee, and others ( to Hope Gardens or Devon's house).

Madame Nelson and Mrs. Grant. Sometimes I still laugh when I recall the way madame Nelson pronounced my name.

Only God can take your preferences and goals, then blend them with your gifts and talents - reach for the stars. Education is the key all the way through.
