Diaries of a Portmore Chick

[Q3210]

Re: Diaries of a Portmore Chick

MsPortmore, It`s just a couple weeks that you left Jamaica since your mention of Lili that mountain of water dumped on us in Jamaica recently.
You certainly do have a writers hand. Your grammar and word structure is immpecable. You also have the gift of dual-writing, patois and standard English.
I live in Garveymeade and a little over half the age of your good father.
It must be quite an emotional experience for you to leave Trudy, Ms. Cambell, Rambo and your Dad as well as others not mentioned.
My daughters also went to Wolmers and I think that it is a good school.
It was very rewarding to read in the Gleaner this year, Wolmers Girls winning an enviromental project competition out of 200 entrants worldwide.
Please share more with us your experiences with that special wit and style of yours.

But Daddy tells me to “go and mek life fi yusself – no badda worry bout mi! mi have mi domino and mi cricket” [/qb]
