NEW LIFE OF MOM

I want to laugh; I want to cry; I want to quit; I want to stay. It's rewarding; it's maddening. It's new, yet I feel like I've done this forever. And, on the days when it feels impossible, I am often shown just how many possibilities exist! This is my diatribe, my rant, my gratitude list, and my dream. You are invited! I decided to work with Pratham mainly because kids teach me more than what I ever can learn with passion. They have the energy, innocence and drive which is seen in adults as well but it is in a purer form when it comes to kids. I also decided to be a part of the organization because I feel a sense of satisfaction when I am with the kids.

I remember so well the day you came into my life.. You asked me if I LOVE YOU You had the most amazing and beautiful smile. My life started to change, I would wake each day feeling alright. With you right by my side, makes me feel things will work out just fine. How did you know I needed someone like you in my life, that there's an empty space in my heart. You came at the right time in my life. I'll never forget, How you brought the sun to shine in my life, and took all the worries and fears that i had. I guess what I'm really trying to say.. It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way, no words can ever express how much I LOVE YOU
