Me, Myself & I

The Best of Both Worlds

My life has been separated into two parts; before having kids and after having kids.
Before having kids; watching horror movies, creating choreographies, reading, and going to the movies were my favorite hobbies. I also used to go every February to skiing to Big Bear, go to the closest beach to my city, visiting Mexico City, San Diego, and Las Vegas. I used to go to Raves and enjoy electronic music, concerts, etc.
One of the things that I enjoyed in my free time and made an impact on society was when I provided free Spanish language classes to Haitians, that arrived in my city in 2018. I started this project with the help of some classmates and teachers from my university. I remember watching Haitians asking for money on the streets or asking for jobs without successful communication. The language was a barrier to their job development and I needed to do something to help them.  My project won awards from my university and we were interviewed by radio stations and newspaper writers.
I have always tried to find situations in which I could help with. I wanted to share this one in specific because it thought me of a different culture and that we all have the same feelings.
Since I am a mother and housewife it is difficult to have time for myself and do the fun things I used to do in my free time. I would like to keep doing these kinds of projects, but right now my schedule is full of mother and housewife activities. I hope one day I could do some similar activities with my daughters and show them the incredible feeling of helping people and giving something in return to society.  
A lot of things have changed as well as my priorities. Now, what I have found fun and good quality of time is to be with my family; going to parks, camping, picnics, painting with my daughters and having time with my husband, and going to bars or restaurants as a couple.
