Snakes That Shed Skin, Remain Snakes
The words of my mother, were ringing in my ears. ‘A leopard never changes it’s spots.’ Little did I know growing up, just how true those words were. I remember always being told to fight for the underdog, help the oppressed, oppose bullies, never back down. I had ‘Rambo’ style imagery, playing out in my mind, but the reality was not as exciting, it wasn’t an action-packed movie, because real life doesn’t work like that.

What
What should I do next? What should I have done? What am I doing? What do I still even have to do? All those things left said, done, undone. All the things I should, shouldn't, have should..? What?

Little Old Lady Who...
Saying the title of this piece out loud in a funny voice is the closest I'll ever get to a yodel. And I have to admit, writing something for the Remarkably Real Challenge has had me perplexed. I realized that I love talking and telling stories, but I'm not very good about telling stories about myself unless I'm making fun of me in some way.

Tales Of The Rent Man
I had a family who rented a small place from me. There was a mother, father, and young child who had a disease that would keep him from reaching adulthood. These were nice people. The mom was full time care giver to their child and dad was full time bread winner. They had been there quite a while. Always paid the rent on time and never complained.

Rerisen
Sometimes when obstacles present themselves, disillusionment descends upon us in what seems to be various cloaks. It can be difficult to see through the roadblocks, and even much more difficult to see them as opportunities or perhaps even signs for our life's road to take a different turn or deviation.

On Stage
Growing up I always somehow felt out of place. I struggled to make friends and I often found myself awkward and a little weird. I can hold conversations and express my opinions without offending anyone. Maintaining friendships has been hard as I moved schools a lot. Being teased was nearly an everyday occurrence until High School when. I enjoyed the arts and in eleventh grade, I decided to take a drama class and I have no idea how that happened or what my decision-making process was then maybe I thought it would raise my GPA? I had no idea.

You are a House
Let’s look at your house. It has a particular size, shape, color, interior, exterior, age, wear and tear, and location. There is nothing special about this house other than the dimensions that it is defined by.

No Rewards for Rich Work Ethics
No consequences for poor work ethic and no rewards for rich work ethic. It is what keeps businesses alive and relationships between employer and employee healthy. There is nothing more condescending to a great worker’s confidence than to see poor ethic go ignored and to realize there will be no growth for what they are doing; creates an ominous thought process for the intelligent worker.

Unmasking The Crippling Chains From My Past
In 1974, both my parents migrated from Jamaica to Canada in hopes of a better future. They left behind three children in doing so — my older sister was 8, my younger brother was 2, and I was 5. And though not much changed in terms of our living arrangements — we lived with our paternal grandmother as we already did, their leaving shattered our world and would change all of us forever.
