Hey y’all!!! A SUPER SATURDAY to ya!!!  I pray that your day is off to an amazing start and continues to be great!  If it isn’t, know that I’m praying that it gets better! And. Here’s. My. Story…… Two years ago, when I began my employment for the public school system, I had to get used to being called by my sir name.  Let me tell you what I mean…..you see, during each of my work experiences, I’ve always been called Alecia or Miss Alecia (by my kiddos).  Every name badge, note
