Real Hero Noah Galloway, Dancing with the Stars Season 20 contestant.

A few years before the tragedy of 911, my son had to write a third grade essay about a hero. He asked me, “what makes a hero and who I thought was a hero?”

I told my young son that real heroes are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Heroes can be found in all walks of life. They are people who work jobs that are not only thankless but can also have jobs that jeopardize their own well-being. I told him that my heroes range from the janitor at his school to soldiers and veterans, policemen, firemen, doctors, nurses, teachers, all the unsung workers and the backbone of America.

On Monday evening on Dancing with the Stars I watched through tears, contestant Noah Galloway, a former United States Army soldier, a model and athlete dance his heart out. He…

@nuja: Unleashing the mind of a crazy scientist

I have always been a very hardworking student. Despite of all the struggles that I was going through, I was giving my best to my work. But some humans are born without a heart as was my boss. He tortured me for 9 months saying it loudly and literally making my life hell. I was not allowed to go home and visit my dad. I was forced to work on weekends. One day it crossed all limits and I decided I’m not going to take this anymore & I immediately lodged a complaint against him to the institute’s internal complaint committee. During my fight that went for three months, I faced every possible ootcome and experienced the harsh realities of life.

My amazing son bought me a Chromebook for Christmas (he is such a thoughtful young man and thoughtful gift giver and will make someone a GREAT husband someday) so, I started this blog.  I knew not one thing about blogging (and still probably don’t) but, started my blog that day.  I still don’t consider myself to be a writer but, do like to encourage Single Parents and promote loving all children with abandon!

I have met some amazing people from all over the world.  I have enjoyed reading others blogs immensely and have learned so much about how many truly amazing people there are in this world.

I want to thank all of my followers from the bottom of my heart…this blog has been a great experience for me because of all of you!!

The world is truly filled with beautiful people!
