About Pieces In The Dark: Turn The Light On

Product Description Pieces in the Dark holds many truths about the human emotions. The short heartfelt vignettes include emotional stories of heartbreak, love gone wrong, moving on, loss, identity, spirituality and a strong lust for inner freedom. Everything becomes into question and the meaning of life is then changed by all the events that occur throughout life. Is it possible to find joy and happiness in a world full of chaos? Does depression go away? Or, does it hibernate for awhile? What happens when the lights turn on and all your secrets are brought to the light? Every page will have you whispering “me too”. About the Author What is your purpose? That is the first question I ask people. Everyday you wake up there must be something driving you. There must be something that is going to keep you alive when all hell is breaking. I am a 26 year old teacher originally from Salinas, California who teaches at the most challenging high school in  Watts, California. Often when I tell people that I teach in Watts their first reaction is "Do they even respect you since you are so young? Why would you do that to yourself?" People don't realize that being a teacher is not about your age. It's not about how "cool" or how much you can "relate" to your students. All people want is someone to listen to them. That goes for anyone. From the rich to the poor. All people want is for someone to listen to them. I have a gift of hearing what a persons heart is saying..  I thank God for giving me the strength to complete this book because my father had a stroke 6 months ago and is in therapy getting better. This season of my life has not been easy, but God gives us strengths in times of weakness. What Are You Supporting? I want to continue to be able to bless my students with prom tickets and school supplies. A lot of my students get robbed and beat up by gang members on their way home and they often come to class empty handed and bruised up. I teach American Literature at a high school in Watts California and it is a low income area. Many of my students live with their grandparents or live on the street because there parents are either locked up, or on the street addicted to drugs. A large amount of our students are in the foster care system. I want to be able to bless a couple of students with year books as well. Thank you so much for reading this message.
