MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Guys, I bet you won't even be looking at the internet today but just in case I have set up this blog in advance so I can be with my loved ones and still deliver my message to you all.

This year started out rocky and by mid way I sure there would be a drastic change in my life. Today as I write not much has changed but to say the least, I continue the struggle I started one dreary April day. Life is strange. I never thought I would lose so many friends and make more four folded. That is life. I continue on the path to bettering myself as a human being, a mother, a lover, a relative and a friend. On my path many have tried to trample me but love and a great advisor has held me together and only time can tell what will happen but this much I know, whatever you want in life you must be willing to fight for. That is the only way you can feel that you are here for a purpose. Keep on fighting the good fight a parent told me. Her son graduated a few years ago under my guidance and love.

A good fight. A GOOD FIGHT! Is that why we are here? Is that the way things have to be. Sad but true,that is the way it seems. I have tried to forgive and forget but I still struggle daily with the feeling of betrayal and that is why it is hard to do what would have been so easy. Maybe one day I will be able to laugh at it but for now the wound is still raw and the only thing that keeps me going is my students (you all), my family and my man. To all of you I send my love and my deepest wishes that you have a great holiday.

Love yourselves, love others and spread love. Yo PUEDO VIVIR MI VIDA. YO PUEDO TENER ACCION. YO PUEDO PORQUE YO SOY. FELIZ NAVIDAD. HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS.

And remember: WHEN THOSE WHO WOULD BE FRIENDS BECOME OPPONENTS, YOU ARE STRONG, YOU ARE POWER, YOU ARE ONE. DEPEND ON THE POWER WITHIN AND THE STRUGGLE WITHOUT DOUBT WILL PREVAIL.

Oh, school resumes on 5th January for CCC ACe and January 12 for CJC ACE. No excuses!! Hahahaha.


Love Always,


Miss B

I MISS YOU ALL. SEASON GREETINGS, WITH LOVE!!

A special time of the year is here once again and as we are all on holiday, I sit at my computer thinking about all my students- all daughters and sons to me. To those who have graduated and moved on to further their studies or have now gotten jobs, I send my love and best wishes. I have now been a teacher for 14 years and so many great minds I have helped to form into what they are today.To each and every student who has come in contact with the B, I send you all my love and best wishes during this holiday time and always.

Take time out to look back on the past and see how you can make a positive impact on your family and friends and most of all on your country. Remember, while you think you can someone is doing what they can!! So, Move it!! Just use two words that are now a part of my existence. Make it yours and you will be successful in all you set out to achieve: I CAN. YO PUEDO.

God Bless,

Ms B

A CHRISTMAS WISH FROM ME TO YOU

Christmas is just around the bend,
And very soon the year will come to an end.
This year was one filled with many challenges,
But the love of family and friends had no changes.
I hope next year brings you much joy and happiness,
My gift to you is that I wish you all the best.
As life goes on its merry way,
I wish you much peace and joy every day.
Even if we only wrote a short note to each other throughout the year,
It was good to know that you were always internet near.
So as the season once again is here,
I just want to say MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

VOCABULARY WORD OF THE DAY

THE WORLD IS FULL OF SURPRISES AND WE ARE CAPABLE OF ACCOMPLISHING MANY NEW AND CHALLENGING THINGS IF WE LET OURSELF DREAM. (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)

The northern constellation Ursa Minor, which contains the North Star; also, the North Star itself. "They would be the cynosure of all eyes. What was a cynosure and why was it never mentioned except in reference to eyes?" -- Ngaio Marsh, 'False Scent' Cynosure derives from Latin cynosura, from Greek kunosoura, "dog's tail, the constellation Ursa Minor," from kuon, kun-, "dog" + oura, "tail."

NENES NUEVOS EN LA CHINA

Four giant pandas born at center in China
CHENGDU, China (UPI) -- Three giant pandas gave birth to a total of four cubs, all delivered within 14 hours of each other, at a breeding base in southwest China, experts said. Nine-year-old panda, Magic Luck, delivered twin female cubs Saturday at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Center, said Yang Feifei, an expert at the base. Eight-year-old panda, Success, delivered a cub Saturday before Pearl, 8, delivered a cub early Sunday, Feifei said. The base is home to 71 giant pandas, Xinhua, China's state-run news agency reported. Giant pandas have become endangered because their habitats are disappearing. Xinhua said about 1,590 pandas exist in China's wild, the majority of which are in Sichuan province and the provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi in the country's northwestern region.
