- Puzzle Piece One: My Name Is
- A Message from Me
- My name is Kare; four simple letters, yet seemingly always hard to pronounceMy name is pronounced Kuh-ray Two syllables, one wordI’ve gotten called Care, Car, and even Karen; that one has never made much sense to me, being that my name lacks an “n” at the endAt one point, I changed the spelling of my name in middle school without my mom knowing to “Karay” so that no one would ever mispronounce it againI’ve grown to love my name and its pronunciation. I’ve realized that it is the most significant piece of my puzzle.
- Puzzle Piece Two: Lai'Lani
- I wasn't happy when I found out my little sister was pregnant. I guess I mostly felt like a bad sister since I didn't find out until she was six months pregnant. Which is crazy being that we had shared a room. I feel like the birth of Lailani brought us closer together. I was there every step of the way, making sure she had what she needed for the baby and taking her to the hospital to give birth. Lai'Lani became apart of me very quickly, especially since she looks just like me. Her birth helped me become a better sister, and an even better aunt.
- Puzzle Piece Three: Twenty-Fine
- Puzzle Piece Six: My First Year
- Turning twenty-five was a memorable birthday; I am finally a quarter century old. First, I wanted to have dinner with all my family members, but the closer we got to my birthday, the more excuses came about why it was not a good time for someone to attend. So, I booked a Carnival Cruise for myself, then spent the weekend in Orlando when I got off the boat. It opened my eyes to putting myself first and not just focusing on what everyone else wants. It opened the door for me to fly to Hawaii and enjoy another solo tripin March. I learned that time waits for nobody, and neither should I.
- Puzzle Piece Four: No Graduation
- Puzzle Piece Five: Coronavirus, It's Getting Real
- Not graduating on time from high school made me feel like a failure. I had all the opportunities to make the right choices, and I refused. It became even more disappointing when my mother said she would not put herself in the position to choose between my graduation or the sister directly under me because she was graduating on time in 2016. So, I never went to my high school graduation; I do not regret it. My diploma still displays the name of my school since I attended Young Adult Borough Center, so I am grateful for that. That moment motivates me to ensure that I attend every graduation I have for college so that I can wear a cap and gown.
- CONGRADULATIONS CLASS OF 2015 except for you.

- The start of the pandemic, when we were unsure of what was going on, was very chaotic for me. I remember being at work and all the teachers randomly scrambling the kids together. The entire atmosphere was filled with worry among the adults. That day started completely normal; everything was fine, then the next thing I knew, our city was being shut down. Not knowing when I would return to work or see any of my students again was traumatic. I was one of those buying excessive amounts of toilet paper and ordering everything in bulk. For the entire month of February, my house received tons of Amazon packages, grocery deliveries, and Walmart orders. My sister begged me to stop over-ordering things.
- My first year as a paraprofessional was my favorite. I was working in my old middle school, on the same floor, and even a more fantastic coincidence exact, my fifth-grade classroom. I was highly excited that coupled with my job being five minutes away from my job. I was the para for a fantastic fourth grader who just wanted to know how the world worked around her—my first hands-on experience with crisis management and working with a child who has Autism. I enjoyed the entire experience because my nephew had been diagnosed with Autism as well, and I could apply some of the techniques I used with him with my student.
- When I first moved to New York City, I judged it terribly. I made ignorant comments and gave my mother the most challenging time for six months because I did not want to be uprooted from my previous life. I have grown to love it here, the city, the people, and the overall life lessons it gave me. I grew up in the Bronx, next to Yankee Stadium, a lovely, family-oriented neighborhood. My elementary school was direct across the street from my house, and I could walk to Yankee Stadium and see a game whenever they played at home. Everyone on my block looked out for one another and knew each other. There was no violence, and rarely was it ever chaotic. This puzzle piece has shaped me into who I am today.
- Life is a puzzle; you have a big picture with a bunch of pieces that complete that picture. In no order does it have to be done, yet every piece has a specific place. Even when you feel a piece belongs in another spot, it’s still a part of that one puzzle. You can stop, take a break, reevaluate, and even create a new, bigger picture. All the same, that puzzle remains your own. Thank you for walking through the pieces of my puzzle with me!
