I’M Worth It

By Cheryl Martin

Poetry is a shortcut to literacy. This book captures the rhyme and rhythm of words. It is about feelings and emotions from the heart. It is about the soul. We feed the soul with poetry. It is about life as we experience multiculturalism in the melting pot of New York. It describes the flavor of words and beats as they occur on a daily basis in the metropolitan areas of the cities. Im Worth It is about the different ways that people express themselves on a daily basis. It shows the essence of living by lining up passion with poetry. It shows us that we are one in the spirit and that we can learn from each other in spite of our different ways of living, caring, and sharing. The book celebrates cultures as being at the center of everything that we do.

I used to be a teacher in the public schools of New York City. I was also a coordinator of the Common Cents for the Penny Harvest in my local school in my community. This organization is a charity that helps to give back to the community. All we did was collect the common cents that people threw away, and we would donate them to people who were less fortunate than ourselves. I taught my students to value money, and I showed them that they could help others even though they were quite young. We also would discuss how to help other organizations. We were able to send money to Guyana to help the students at the Canefield Primary School. The teachers and students needed money to buy school supplies and books. They were able to help themselves, and they were grateful that we shared our resources with them. I am very proud to have worked in the Common Cents for the Penny Harvest. It gave me opportunities to serve my fellow human beings. I believe that we should share our lives in helping others, especially those who are in need.
