A Bit About Valerie

Pursuing my dreams has been a challenging but rewarding journey. I’m grateful to have overcome poverty, and I remain dedicated to my goals. I believe creativity and authenticity bring me joy and define who I am. I value simplicity and avoid pretentiousness. Instead of dining out, I enjoy home-cooked meals with my husband and children. My favorite activities include reading, writing, relaxing in bubble baths, and caring for my home garden. I’ve decided to start a home-based candle and handmade soap business while homeschooling my kids to prepare them for life with strong values. My teaching focuses on curiosity and critical thinking, allowing my children to explore the world with open minds and kind hearts. Through hands-on projects and stories, I aim to inspire a lifelong love for learning. I choose not to be a victim of my past and instead focus on living peacefully.
