Adela

Helloo! My name's Adela, I'm from Flushing, New York and was born in the Dominican Republic.  I studied Sociology and Languages as undergrad and am currently pursuing my MA in Sociology at St. John's University, also in New York.  What I am most excited about is to work with the Daughters of Charity closely. I am convinced they are one of the strongest groups of people in the world. Growing up as a Franciscan, I learned to love service and try to live simply, which can be a challenge in my city. A quote attributed to St. Francis is: "Preach the gospel always, and if necessary use words." I really like it because it emphasizes living out the word, faith in action which is what I always associate the Daughters with, walking the talk per se. Apart from service, I also love my family/friends and cooking for them, playing my sax, and submerging myself in art (all kinds). I hope this blog inspires you all to do great things or if anything makes ya smile, enjoy!  :-)
