My brother has a juicy job in England where he gets to go around the world and rate hotels. I too would like this juicy job where I can deep-sea dive in Cozumel, Mexico. Really? Here I am slogging away in classrooms, oh the sibling rivalry!

On the other hand, the acceptances keep me smiling, but not elections. I tend to pick the underdogs all the time, they may not win, but I still hold fervently to the notion of clean politics. I do support Spike Lee's endorsement of Bernie Sanders. I like the innocence of Mr. Smith goes to Washington to clean up corruption. Many would say not the real world. I dream, however, like most young people. One honest apple can have a healthy effect on the lives of many...Think about it....

On the elections in Jamaica....well, at 5 p.m. tomorrow, we will find out. Scary....
