Manoly always understood the balance and importance of prioritizing family. He passionately and respectful loved his one and only high school sweetheart, Giuliana. He made time for storytelling not only for his children, but for all his beloved nephews and family members who enjoyed a traditional Sunday family dinner and gathering or excuse for a party. If you had the honor of ever meeting Manoly Fernandez, it is guaranteed he made you feel special, loved, enticed you to think, and for sure laugh! He loved to share ideas. Ideas for the betterment of your family, his family, community and society.

Manoly Fernandez a man who’s legacy will forever be carried on by his 4 amazing grandsons Giovanni II, GianOtto, Hector, and Luciano. We hope that with this scholarship, other children will carry on his virtues and live the FREEDOM of the American Dream Manoly so much believed in.

I can’t thank them enough for their endless support. My father truly valued education and was always my #1 supporter in making a difference in the lives of my students. He would feel so proud of this scholarship!

If you haven’t read Steven Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I suggest you do!
The book has changed my professional and personal life. “The way we see the problem is the problem” is a quote by Steven Covey. Think about that for a second. View things from a different perspective and you might come up with solutions to your problem.
Thank you to my colleague for her sharing her perspective with me today as we worked on perfecting the reflection activity for our school’s event.
Today we most definitely practiced the habit of Think Win Win! Xoxo

God knows we can’t do it alone! I pray everyday for the dear lord to give me strength to be the best teacher to my students & a supportive colleague to my fellow teachers.

As I read Teaching Boys Who Struggle in School by Kathleen Palmer Cleveland, I am being reminded that we have to educate our students with love. Love is what builds trust and relationships. Without relationships, our students are less likely to take risks, build on their curiosity, be spontaneous to create and reveal their true selves!
Food for thought!!

What’s for dinner at the Roman household tonight?
We all show our love in different ways. I love to cook for my family. It is an act of service to show love and a way to teach my children about their culture.
Tonight’s menu:
-Arroz con garbanzos ( yellow rice with garbanzos)
-bistec empanizado ( breaded steak)
I had left overs and brought some to my students today to share. 😋
There are many ways to show love. How do you show love to your family, students and loved ones?
