>> I am Quitrina. Like Will Smith, I was born and raised in Philadelphia. I am 61 years old with three children: 31 29 20. I also have a beautiful granddaughter who is nine years old. My amazing partner in crime is my cat whose name is Ribbon. I really, really, really love to travel. I just came back from a trip to Puerto Rico in August. My obsession is shopping.  I make sure all my accessories match before I walk out my door. The belt, shoes, purse, and jewelry have to match all the time! :) I love adding style to my clothing to make it one of a kind!
>> 
>>                In the midst of my silliness and successes, I put God first. I am a God-fearing woman and I give all glory, honor, and praise to Him. Gospel music gets me through my day. I am eager to learn new things. One of my new learning goals is to learn how to use JAWS on my laptop.
>> 
>> My ultimate educational and career goal is to become a social worker and work with blind and visually impaired children.  I know that this will take time but I am up to the challenge!
>> 
>> I worked driving paratransit buses here in Philadelphia from 2003 to 2004. I started to lose my vision in 2006 in the left eye and my right eye in 2007. I love to help other seniors in need such as those with vision loss or using a wheelchair. I have such a giving heart and I really do not like it when I see people mistreated.
