Acknowledgments

Did you know that gratitude is the rent we pay for the space we occupy on earth? Against this background, I am taking time out to ensure I pay my dues.

Firstly, I acknowledge the Raymond Aaron group and the 10-10-10 Writer’s Program. You have enabled me to make this dream of writing a book the reality it has become today. Thank you, Raymond, for co-authoring this book with me.

I wish to also acknowledge the dedicated support of Tracy Knepple, who worked tirelessly with me, helping me to unearth and vocalize my experiences so that they became easier to solidify into this tangible form.

Thanks too, to all the important people who have touched my life in one way or another: Old Boys of Cornwall College: past students of the school on the hill beside the sea, members of the speech and drama clubs, members of the Spanish club, and members of the Culture club. Those were the best days of my journey as a teacher, advising and coordinating your programs and activities.

I especially want to acknowledge past student, Joseph Farquharson, who still remembers my birthday. It warms my heart to be remembered in a special way, and from as far away as Germany. Though our paths have split, Malike Kellier still ensures his mother takes good care of my travel and lodging arrangements whenever I travel to the island. Thanks a lot Malike. Thura Soe Htwe has taken time out from his family and busy schedule to connect with me on Facebook. That is awesome! Calbert Graham has connected with me out of the United Kingdom. It is amazing to be in touch with you.

I acknowledge the kindness of my brothers and sisters: Roger, Dewey, Joe, Spencer, George, Marcia, and Merle. Special mention also for my immensely helpful nieces: Annmarie and Alethia Clarke.

I also want to acknowledge some extra special neighbors and colleagues: Evvy Jenoure, Carlito Somera, Raphael Adeniyi, Edel Paracuelles, Lori Aliche, Charmaine Harrison, Charmaine Chennis, Beverly and Sharon Austin, Paulet and George Harty and family, Blossome McLaughlin-Allen and family. Thank you for your consistent strong words of encouragement to me.

To Karen Colquhoun-Wallace, thank you for being my persistent source of incredibly positive encouragement and a believer in my power and ability to produce a masterpiece. Karen, you make me wonder how you see beyond my façade of fear to highlight what seems hidden and out of sight.

A special thank you to MizYen, my one and only daughter, who believes her mother can move any mountain that confronts her. Thank you also to Aion, my one and only son, whose support with my Airbnb endeavor frees up time for me to dedicate to this important project. Thank you, Mama Isola Baker, for ensuring that I learned to read, write, and support myself. You laid the foundation for my life, out of which this book has come.

Thank you to my colleague of many years past, Pearlina Fray, now resident in the Bahamas. I was lucky to track her down through an old email address. As we talked of old times over the phone, trying to fill in the gap years, Pearlina felt that my stories merited preservation within the covers of a book. Her urgings were stronger than an encouragement, and that helped me realize the importance of immortalizing my stories. Thank you, Pearlina.

Thanks also to Glen and Ingrid Gregory, whose care of my property in Ontario has not only allowed me to survive here in Alberta but has also positively impacted my ability to make this book happen. I owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you so much!

To my incredibly special friend, Bola, and her husband, Dr. Peter Mebude, who, since I met them in 2009, have not said no to anything I have asked of them. This couple graciously accepted the challenge to critically proofread my script while I worked on editing it. I am extremely grateful for your support. Thank you very, very much.

Thank you to Ms. Jennifer Gorkoff, present principal of Jack James High School, who understood the request I made to be temporarily released to participate in a three-day book-writing workshop in Toronto. Thanks also to Catherine Forbes, past acting principal of Jack James along with Michelle Konschuh, and Warren Ferguson, who managed the school in 2018 when I arrived there as a substitute teacher. Your recognition of my gifting as an educator, and as a caring, compassionate teacher, led you to recommend me unhesitatingly to be meaningfully contracted with the Calgary Board of Education, for which I am tremendously grateful.

I also acknowledge Diane Thorsell and Debbie Twomey, the two EAs who guided, supported, and helped me make a success of a challenging year of baptism in the PLP program. Thanks also to Kathy Whitehead, the business office manager, for being patient and understanding with me on my numerous trips to get her help to navigate the accounts for my department. Thanks to Valerie Tiller and Sharon Hube Whitman, the front desk ladies who supported me from start to finish. You are amazing!

Jack James High School is the closest I have come to experiencing a feeling of family in all the years I have spent in Calgary. My experiences there surpass expectations, with Pamela Blake who cleaned the snow from my car; Tony Liu, my ever present support with IT; Matthew Penman, a ready support for the youth in my program; the staff who included me on lunch-out moments; Dean Bittman, who transported my class on all our bussed trips; and Sarah Hargreaves, the grad organizer, and Jamie Willis, the Aboriginal grad coach, who ensured I was included in school activities. I also want to acknowledge the Culinary department of the school specially, for preparing and serving the best meals I have had so far, anywhere in Calgary. If you are blessed to work at this illustrious school, know that I thank you for having touched my life while our paths crossed. It is my hope that Jack James would retain and build upon the essence of good that it embodies.

I would be remiss for not thanking a special group of persons who supported me while I worked at Jack James: Matt Zinken, Area 3 Special Needs Strategist; Crystal Gatza, PLP teacher at Ernest Morrow Middle School; Barbara Hare and Shawn Powell, PLP teachers at Forest Lawn High School; Sandra Cowley, PLP teacher at Robert Thirsk High School; and Nicole Pasquarelli, PLP teacher at the Bowness High School. Thank you for the support you freely and willingly gave me throughout the year I worked in the PLP program.

Additionally, I want to thank Heidi Lutz and Tammy Quiring for your sincere support throughout the year I spent at the Lester B. Pearson High School. Please know that I appreciate you for all you did. I want to also mention two other CBE schools: Escuela Collingwood and the Dalhousie Elementary, where I believe I worked most while I taught as a substitute teacher. Know that I sincerely miss the camaraderie we shared while I worked alongside you. Also to the very helpful and supportive staff of the Queen Elizabeth High School, where I worked on a temporary contract, thank you for allowing me to walk forward with the confidence I needed to face the world when that contract ended.

My ability to navigate and weather the storms of life is due in part to the foundation of faith that has been deposited in me. Against that background, I take time out here to thank the following assemblies and leaders: Bishop Reuben Macpherson and the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus in Jamaica, Bishop Orville Rodney and the church at Valencia Drive, the Reverend Vivian Burke and the church at 11 Elgin Road, Bishop Kenroy and Lady Pamela Morris and the church at 251 King William Street, Pastor Henry Thompson and the church at Centre Street, Bishop Gerald Johnson and Pastor Joy Johnson-Green and the Showers of Blessing Church in Calgary. Thank you for rightly dividing the fortifying word of God.

Also, to my newly-made librarian friend, Irina Horvath, who graciously agreed to take a critical look at my cover and who, in turn, gave me an honest assessment of it, I want to say a special thank you.

The authority I have become today hinges upon the support I have enjoyed from various other groups, relatives, and friends, among which is the Substitute Teachers’ Group of the Calgary Board of Education. Thank you for allowing me to work along with you, holding positions and supporting our colleagues as we struggle together to find our place in the education system.

Thanks, also, to John and Oby Igbiki and the Glory Awakening Fellowship, which has allowed me to expand my network of connections while building up my faith and trust in our father, God.

In addition, I thank my Aunt Mercie and Uncle Jos, who organized and supported the transition of my children and me to Canada. Thank you wholeheartedly. Thanks, too, to Auntie Marr and Stephen and Uncle Harry and Courtney, for making their home in Mississauga the central place for everyone named or connected as a Salmon to converge once we arrive in Canada. You are amazing and I thank you!

And, to Ines Rios and Elizabeth Webb and the indomitable team at the, now, Immigrants Working Centre, who invited me to join them in the Orientation to the Labour Market, coached and mentored me to become a Canadian worker, and...
