I attend catholic school all of my life. I loved going to catholic school. I was the kid who struggled in reading, math and in 7th grade was my break out year. In 7th grade I learned that education was the key. My teacher was the person who told me one day you will have to take action in your life. I learned how to be a honor student. I started to receive A' s, even to this day I still only receive A's because I want to change my life. I have my son looking to me for the right way of life. St. Thomas Aquinas changed my life. I went to West Catholic high school. I went to Widener University for one year, then had to leave because of having my son. I later went to Community College Of Philadelphia. I received a degree in Liberal Arts. During, my time at CCP I was in the honors program. After graduation I started to work for the School District of Philadelphia. The children I work with are the reason I am now at Drexel trying to finish my education. I would love to teach in Philadelphia schools. I see the struggle everyday with the students and I want to make a difference.

I have worked for the school district as a classroom assistant. I believe in education. The power of learning something new. " Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today". I plan to prepare my students for life, one child at a time

My mother. Her name is Tina Sutton. My mother is the strongest woman in the world. Tina's mother died when she was 15 years old from cancer. My mother had to raise herself at this point. "The saying started from the bottom" is a true statement in her life. She was suppose to be raised by her aunt, but her aunt treated her very bad. I watched my mother raise two children by herself and go to Temple University. My mother believed in education not because she was a teacher, but because she started from poverty. My mother was able to send her children to catholic school. I remember my mother giving my sister and I, money for snack at school. She did not have the money, she would give us her bus fare for school. Then she would walk from South Philadelphia all the way to temple in North Philadelphia for class. I can never pay her back for life gifts, but I love my mother. Then later she had a son with one then one disability, and it never stopped her fight. My mother has always been my back bone. I love her with every breath in my body. I am thankful for everything she has do for myself and my sister.

My family means the world to me. They are the reason I work so hard in life. My mother has always been a single parent. I watched her work, go to school , and still have time for her children. I have one sister, two brothers, and my younger brother has disabilities. His name is Minar, but everyone calls him POOPA. It has not been easy. I help my mother with my brother. They both live with me at my house, but I would not change it for the world. I have a son who is 9 years old. Tyler is the light to my world. My seven year old cousin lives with me also, his mother died of breast cancer when he was one years old. I just call him my extra son. Both of my boys go to catholic school, play the an violin, and sports.
