I'm Carol, aka Chaka, and these are my memories which were originally written for my kids, Mark and Amanda. It is a way for me to let them glimpse into my life to see what has influenced me and made me who I am.

Your First Teacher

You’re so small, so vulnerable, so open…and there she is, you’re first teacher…looking down at you and smiling… I’m here to help.  She takes you under her wing, holds you in her arms – in her heart.  She teaches you not only your ABC’s, but right from wrong, look forward – never look back, except to remember the good times, the fond memories.  She teaches you to be strong, be brave, be good and be yourself.  She tells you there is nothing you can’t do, you have what it takes to succeed.  She teaches you about love, not with words but with actions…and she teaches you about consequences….there are always consequences.

Your first teacher…your Mother.  Thank you Mom, I am who I am today because of you.
