About Me!

I grew up in the NYC public school system. I have a B.A. in criminal justice and B.S. in health education N-12. I am no psychologist or English major but I am a determined mother of three with a goal in mind. When I moved to the suburbs I felt my school district would be good enough for my children since they were better than what was offered to me. Well......... after I had my children I began to look further into what my school district has to offer compared to other schools. I have decided that my school district is not the right environment for them.

I have a 4 year old, a 3 year old, a 17 month old and I am determined to get them into some of the best schools in New York. This goal can be challenging especially when you don't have the extra finances to help you accomplish it. This past fall I applied to three schools for my oldest daughter. She was denied into two of the three and put on a waiting list for another. I blame myself for not teaching my daughter enough. Yes, myself because there's so much we can do as parents without putting any pressure on our kids. I have made learning fun in my household or at least I try. I have educated myself on how to accomplish my goal and continue to do so. I will share with you what I've discovered and continue to discover through my journey in round two. I will re-apply to the three schools again this fall and three other schools.

Although my goal is to get my children into  private school ultimately my goal is to set the stage for academic success. If you don't have the same goal as I, I still feel your child can benefit from this blog. If you have any information that would be beneficial to my children or those of the readers of this blog please feel free to share it.
