My name is Antonia Alberga-Parisi. I am a 15th year high school English teacher, 6th year mom, 11th year wife and forever writer. Born and raised in Queens, New York, I hold memories of sitting on my stoop and writing while waiting for rain. Now I write in a different state, in a different place but still wait for that electricity. Someone once told me that if I could answer the question “Who am I?†I would be able to unlock the secret to true inner peace-let’s see if he is correct.
I am a 38 year old finally coming to terms with the fact that she is in her 30s, just in time to enter into her 40s. I am a wife to a handsome Florentine whom I met while studying art history in Italy (we were married within 5 months of meeting each other, so I guess I am also spontaneous and slightly insane); I am a mom to two sweet babies; I am sensitive to the adolescent evil eye; I am never boring and always nice-no matter what my students say. I believe that there is time for greatness.
