"It is possible, even probable, to be told a truth about a place, to accept it, to know it and at the same time not to know anything about it."
-John Steinbeck

Hello, I dream of being a star. My name is Mona Lisa, no not like the picture, way better than that, I’m real. My dream has always been to have a home and a family of my own. I’m from a broken family. I looked 22 years for my father and found him. I was 33, he was 72. He is resting in peace now. I have a son, Max William Carpenter (1/17/2000), he graduated kindergarten yesterday. I was 38 when I had him. I’m divorced unfortunately. I still want my home for Max and I , I will.

My dream- I am a dreamer, so I have lots of them. Recently the most pressing one is that of social justice. I want for those who have less and have been oppressed to receive what is fair. I wish people would stop placing value of human lives based on their fortunes and riches or on the lack of them, or because of the color of their skin.

I hope my son will grow up happy and healthy. I hope he will inherit a world where neither his country nor any other terrorizes and oppresses poor people in a horrific search for riches. I hope we can stop the brutal exploitation of working people in the US and around the world. I hope we will have a world where people have to decide between health care, food and shelter.

I believe that I am living the American Dream; I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful kids and an amazing/supportive extended family. For the future, I want to see my kids grow up to be healthy, happy, independent adults. I want to enjoy life with my family, continue to have a rewarding career, give back to my community by volunteering and grow old with my husband whom I adore and who makes me laugh every day!
