“Black Is My Happy Color.” </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">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!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> 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. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">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!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:106%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">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. </p>
