My Father My Inspiration - Hardcover

by Alice Perez Sierra (Author)

About the Author: Alice Perez Sierra I was born in Puerto Rico in a township called Isabela and was raised in New York City. Years later, I moved to New Jersey where I raised my three wonderful children. I am also a proud grandmother with a passion for writing. When I was a young girl, one of my hubbies was writing letters to friends, notes, and the grocery list for my mom. I would save my notes and messages in a wooden box. I also read the newspaper, magazines, and many books. When I went to high school I became a member of the Pen-Pal Club, and wrote many letters to the soldiers in the military. I felt so happy when the postman would deliver a letter to me. I saved all my letters in my secret box. From an early age, I discovered a passion for writing. As an adult I have worked in several jobs, mostly in the city. I also worked at a childcare center for seven years in New Jersey, then decided to open my own registered family childcare business at home. I went to school at night and achieved my Child Development Associate Credential and ran my business from home for sixteen years. I served many working parents and my community, with devotion and love. On my leisure time, I like to workout at a local YMCA, I ride my bike, go for walks, write, read, and listen to soft music. I also enjoy the beach, gardening, sowing, and attending church on Sundays. I am a firm believer that it is never too late to fulfill your dreams and discover your abilities at any age and achieve whatever your heart desires.
