You might be thinking that Detroit is a bad city with a bad rep but I don’t see it that way. I have lived here all my life. I have experienced the good and bad of what Detroit has to offer. As Detroiters we take great pride in our city. We have the 2 of the best sports teams in Michigan and they are the Red Wings and the Pistons. We are fixing up our city to attract more people to visit our great city. We are bashing the bad reputation that you have of the city of Detroit. We are changing as we fix up the old vacant building and put up some new ones. We are making room for more visitors to come and experience the city I love.
I was born in 1979 in Southfield Michigan on April 22, 1979. I Lived in Detroit until I was 8 and I have made so many great memories from my childhood. In 1985 I started Kindergarten at Logan Elementary and made a lot of new friends. Then from first till third grade
I attend Our Lady Queen of Angels. It was a Catholic school where we had to wear blue, white, and silver uniforms.
During my childhood in the 80’s I remember going to Boblo Island taking either the St Clare or the boats to the Island. There are songs that remind me being on the Boat from Celebration by Kool and the Gang, Summertime Blues by George Thorogood, Let’s twist again by Chubby Checker. All these songs were played on the Boblo Boat when it was coming from the Island back to Detroit. Boblo Island was in Canada. I also remember when I was seating on the boat people were feeding the seagulls and being afraid I was gonna be pooped on. I was also scared of being too close to he blue rail and afraid that I was gonna fall in.
Then my parents moved to Sterling Heights in the late 80’s and ever since then I love to visit.
I loved to see all the old memories that came back to me. I love that I could come back and see a part of my past. I am so glad that they are restoring the SS Ste. Clair. Every time I come back this site I get tears in my eyes and it takes me back to a time when I wan little girl. Seeing the old blue trim on the rails just brings me back of how excited I got when I was going to Boblo Island. The memories will stay with me the rest of my life. I will be sure to be on that boat when it opens up.
As you enter the city and enter downtown there are many attractions to see. Detroit isn’t a small city you will find that it is a large city with many historic sites., churches, and restaurants. We are putting on a new face to our city. Once you come here and visit you will come to find to love it and will want to come back. We take great pride that we love the city of DETROIT. When you come and visit we have the People mover to move you around the city. When you are on the People Mover take in sites of Detroit. Experience the sprit in which we love. The food and atmosphere will come to amaze you.
The city of Detroit is home to Sports such as the Pistons, Red Wings, Lions, and Tigers. Every year in January we host the International Auto Show where you can see the new models of the beginning of the year .Here there is nothing like a Michigan Coney there are cheap and good they are a hot dog with chili mustard and onions.
In 2006 Detroit was the host to the 40th Super Bowl where people came form all over and experienced our city. We welcomed them with open arms and in return they loved our city. This city looks great all 4 seasons of the year. We also have won the 2006 WNBA basketball Championship. Also in 2006 The Detroit Tigers won the American League Championship Serious and went to the World Serious and played the St Louis Cardinals.
I love the fact that I know many hidden treasures around Detroit and away from the city.
Around Detroit we have Mexican town, Greek town, Coney Islands. Away from the city on Michigan avenue you will find a little place called Telways. This is a little known place that I grew up eating at. They have the best cheapest hamburgers in Michigan. Not many people know of this but I do.
This is my city in which I love. I grew up here all my live and it will be with me where ever I go. There is nothing more better then to feel the pride for your own city. Who ever grew up here we hand a strong pride for our city. Kid Rock ,Eminem, Uncle Kracker, Ted Nugent. Are some of the few Celebrities that have grown up here. I still go back to the city. I love the city even though I live in Sterling Heights.

Who I am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I’m just a shy fun loving person that is easy to get along with. I am the type of person who will do anything for their friends and love ones. I like the type of girl who will treat you the way I want to be treated, I love to be romanced and even though I don’t like surprises, I don’t mind them if they are good and meant for a reason. I enjoy going out, spending time with family and having fun with my friends. In my spare time I love to dance, hang out with friends, go to bars once in a while for a few drinks to talk, going to the movies, listening to all kinds of music, write poetry and I love giving massages, and renting a movie and staying in. When I'm with a group of people I'm usually the quiet one. At times it’s hard for me to start a conversation cause I have little experience with meeting guys and talking to them. I enjoy spending time by myself from time to time, watching TV, and relaxing. At first I'm really shy but once when you get to know me I‘m not. I'm nice, caring and a loving person. I am looking to find someone that I can talk to and be my best friend. What makes me happy : Right now it’s spending time with my Family and having fun with my friends is making me happy. What I hate : Fake people, liars. I believe that being honest is good but if you keep on telling lies it will catch up to you.
I am so proud of my country. I don’t like war but the people who fought before us had to fight for our freedom. That is why we are fighting
Here is a little about myself: I am shy at first but when you get to know me I‘m not, I am also friendly and in my spare time I love to dance, hang out with friends, go to bars once in a while for a few drinks to talk, going to the movies, listening to music, writing poetry, driving around, traveling, and I love giving massages. When I'm with a group of people I'm usually the quiet one. But If you get on a good subject I'll probably talk. I also enjoy great conversations, cuddling, holding hands, kissing, quiet evenings on the couch watching TV or a movie, and holding hands. I also love to travel.
Why you should get to know me: I’m a friendly person and I usually get along with everyone I meet and I love to give massages. I am a pretty open person when it comes for doing things such as picking what to do for the day. I also like to cook but cause I know the way to a man heart is through his stomach.
What have past relationships taught you (be positive)? To be more open to others.
Describe some of the most important things in your life: My Faith, Family, friends, and music.
Anything else you'd like to add? Give me a chance guys and you won't be disappointed cause if you know how to treat a woman, I know how to treat a man but no players.

Type of guy I am looking for
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The type of person that I am looking for: maybe first friendship then possible to develop into a relationship. You have to build and see if it works out to be a friendship or something more. I don’t want someone that plays games. I want someone that is honest, faithful, loving, funny, and caring. The best place to go on a Date with someone would be a nice romantic dinner then after maybe a walk or going somewhere quite and private to talk. In a relationship I am looking for someone who is honest, mature, fun loving, supportive, great sense of humor, a hopeless romantic, a good listener. Someone who knows how to treat me like a woman and sweep me off my feet, someone that knows how to make a woman feel special, and how to treat her like a lady. As a girlfriend I am supportive and kind. I will treat you with respect and I will do anything to make you happy.Type of guy I am looking for

2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This year I am going to be making a lot of changes. The first thing is I am focusing on myself and not letting others get in my way. The second thing is I’m going to get a better job, third is losing this weight, and forth is getting a car. I am not quite looking for a man but when someone comes along I will give it a try but for now I am being happy single and I am loving it. I do get lonely at times but I know if I do have one now that it will screw up my plans and goals. Talia told me don’t look for a man let them find you. I think I am going to give it a try. So I might meet a guy when I’m not even looking for one. I hope that works out. I am now focusing on my life and if someone comes along let them. I doubt it but as soon as this weight comes off I am sure to have more fun and a good-looking body that I can’t help to flaunt. One thing I am afraid of is moving out on my own because I have never been on my own before and I don’t think that I would be about to make it in life.2003

There are a lot of ways to pick yourself up when you get out of a long relationship. If it wasn’t for my family, friends, music, and my strength. That is what kept me form being depressed and it also kept me strong when I was feeling down.
Christina Aguilera’s CD “Stripped” helped me in a lot of ways. She was in a bad relationship and she wrote about it. I myself write poems and that helps me. On her CD there was a song called Fighter , this song goes “Cause if it wasn’t for all you tried to do , I wouldn’t know now just capable I am to pull through“. The best part of breaking up with Rob was knowing how strong I was to go through a break up. Cause I am a fighter. Her second song that helped me was the song “Soar” This song means a lot to me. I love the message in it. It tells you to spread your wings and soar no matter what people say to you that brings your dreams form coming true. The songs goes “ In life there's gonna be times when you're feeling low and in your mind insecurities seem to take control we start to look outside ourselves for acceptance and approval we keep forgetting that the one thing we should know is Don't be scared to fly alone find a path that is your own love will open every door it’s in your hands the world is yours don't hold back and always know all the answers you will unfold what are you waiting for spread your wings and soar”. It was about time I take my live in my own hands and do what makes me happy and to spread my wings and soar. Christina said, “lift your head high and stay strong keep pushing on”. No matter how many people push me down with negativity I will stand up and never fall down cause I will work hard on my dream to make it come true.
Her last song that helped me was “ Keep on singin my song” The song also has a good message in it. It goes “I’ve been struggling couldn’t go on , but now I’ve found I’m feeling strong and I’m moving on” “I’m humanly unable to please everyone at the same time so now I find my peace of mind living one day at a time” “ I have made a decision never to give in till the day I die no matter what I’m gonna carry on I’mma keep singin my song “ . The song has a strong message in it, it tells you no matter what you do you can’t please everyone around you, you have to make yourself happy.
The day my ex Rob and I Broke up. I felt a feeling that I have never felt before. The weight off my shoulders went away. I gained so mush self-esteem and I lost 10 pounds. I gained a new life in 2003. I started to work out more. I am moving on in my life and I love it.
The Year 2003 was a tough year for me it was a beginning of a year of being single for me. At first it was hard to deal with the fact that I was single after 2 and a half years but then it got a lot easier as time went on. Later on in that year Christina Aguilera’s CD Stripped come out and that had helped me though a lot. On that CD. The song named Fighter. Even though she was dealing with a different situation with her ex-boyfriend. I felt that I was a fighter and I can pull though this pain I was feeling.

I have been employed for a year and 5 months and I am trying to get a job to where I can start saving money and move out hopefully with Tom. If he doesn’t change his mind. Since he wants to buy a house and will be charging $110 a month. You can’t beat that anywhere else. I hope to get a job soon I can’t live anymore being unemployed and having no money for things.2005

This year is getting off to a ok start. I finally got a job on February 16,2006 working at Du-Val. I am a assembler making small parts. I am getting paid $8.00 an hour and I hope to get a raise at the end of my 90 days which is May 16th. That is my first goal I have accomplished. My 2nd goal is getting back on Jenny Craig plan. I am going to go this Friday the 24th and I am getting the food in which I missed. I am focusing on this week just the exercise part and not making any excuses. I want to lose 15 pounds by June 1st.
My 3rd goal that I am about to accomplish is join a parish and that might be on Saturday the 25th with Tom and join at Sweet Heart of Mary. I am finally seeing my goals getting accomplished and I am 50% more happier with my life. I am going to thank God everyday for this and hoping he can help me to lose this weight.
