Welcome!

Hello!

My name is Rossemary and this blog is about my glaring(cats), ChiChi my newly adopted dog and any other thoughts that I may wish to share on a daily basis.

Sometimes you just need to vent or just share any thoughts you may have. These are one of the many reasons why I decided to do this. Therefore, before I get started let me introduce myself.

I was born in Lima, Peru and I came to the US at the age of 1. My mom and I first moved to NY and lived there for approximately 2 years. After those 2 years we moved to Florida.

I went to school here, graduated college, worked a while and now I'm back at the university. I'm currently studying to be an elementary school teacher. I currently have a BA in Political Science and a BA in Communication Arts. I guess I'm classified by many as a "career changer" but to be honest I never even had the chance to make a career out of the first two degrees I acquired!  You learn, so moving on...

I can't even remember when but I wanted to be a lawyer for years until last December when I decided that I was insane. We had just gotten off stage after performing Handel's Messiah when my feet were killing me and I needed water but I was so unbelievably happy to be a part of such a great experience. That's when I decided that I should really be singing for the rest of my life. So...I'm also not only going to school but I'm learning to sing all over again.

Look, I have been singing since I was 5, I sang through all of my academic life, I even got a scholarship to attend college but, what I realized was that I was not doing it correctly. I returned to the university to learn about music and to also change careers.

Realistically speaking, everyone knows that a career in music is not only challenging but that it is also not guaranteed. My entire life my mom has given me the fantastic advice of always going for your dreams but to also have a back up. We back up our files so why not back up a dream? Life is so uncertain and it's scary because I will be the first to admit that I can be a dreamer and I aim high so when I fall, I fall hard.

So going back to singing correctly, I have been taking voice lessons with this AMAZING professor who has given me another chance to really sing, grow and she has helped me understand that with real dedication you can improve and achieve any vocal goals you may have.

I am married to a wonderful man who has put up with my insanity by allowing me to rescue my cats and dog, and who has also been supportive of my career decision every step of the way.

Now that you know about me I can write some more!
