for those of you who come to the shop often, know that i am the proud CaPR or "boriqua"! i love my culture, music, people...etc.,etc. when you come into the shop, we have my tunes playing in the background along with the rat pack. i am a gangster at heart! also, i am a single child raised with a bunch of crazy cuzn's. however, i am the only one of the cuzn's that is a pure bred...i must say. 100% puerto rican woman.
back in my college dayz, i took one of my cuzn's under my wing when i was dorming, and introduced him to the "a day in the life of a college student" at the age of 7 or 8. he hung out with my college buddies and learned how to played craps in the dorm room. not very inspiring right?
well, this is an awesome story of planting the seed. even though, he was young, he had a taste of what life would be like in college. no matter how small of a snapshot that may look like in this big book of life, that may have just been a paragraph in a potential, biography.back in my college dayz, i took one of my cuzn's under my wing when i was dorming, and introduced him to the "a day in the life of a college student" at the age of 7 or 8. he hung out with my college buddies and learned how to played craps in the dorm room. not very inspiring right?
well, that little boy is now a 21 year old man. my baby cuzn "pops". we just got the news that he was accepted to Whittier College to play football in the hopes that history at this private school will be made! with brand new stadium seating, it is with honor that i get to go back to my Alma matter, where i first introduced this fun-loving kid to the world of campus life, and wear a WHITTIER COLLEGE sweatshirt and sit down in the stadium and cheers for my baby cuzn..with honor and purple pride.
i may not have a baby bro, but i can at least now take pride and walk back on campus with a sense of accomplishment and a reason to celebrate for homecoming 2008!
Congratulation "POPS"
we are so proud of you!
