Zeeyon Walker:  

Greetings to All! I had to update this 'story' as the chapters keep unfolding and writing themselves.... Since I last wrote here, I reported I was still in shock of the time I had remained in the states, excited about going back to school, and doing a great deal of community service. Well, I am still in the states, no longer in shock because I have accepted that this is where I need to be for this time in my life. The Creator has a unique way of making sure that HIS will is done, even if we thought we had a good plan... I submit, as always, doing my best to be a good daughter and a good servant. I will always continue to serve in my community, it's just in me. It is part of my service. So what's going on these days??? Still in school. I am at UTMB doing medical research which involves issues that plague our community directly, such as recidivism rates and the crack cocaine epidemic, and the ethics and morals of medicine (yes, even in my academic studies in medicine, I am still the militant one). So, as you can see, I have my plate pretty full. I am fully enjoying this time as I have already done a great deal of 'exploration' of the world during my youth, so now, it is simple for me to be settled and focused on this path. I am simply ecstatic about life and look forward to each new, different, challenging and exciting day. I am living in Galveston, Texas. Galveston is a little island off of the mainland of Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. It was the key to making me stay in the states and not be bent out of shape! I get a little of both worlds here, so I am satisfied. No grandchildren to report, my only son is determined to do it the old fashioned way (as I did my best to teach him) marriage before children (please, I can not foster baby mama drama), and he is not ready to settle down for marriage just yet, no hurry, no problem. Still enjoying his life as a single man, as well he should. For those of you who were in the band with me, I think of you often. Being in the band at Therrell High brings back some memories out of this world for me. I thought we were the best in the city. I was and still am proud to say that I was a member of that band. We produced some strong musical talent, individuals who went on to great and successful careers in the music industry; Bobby Lovelace, Wayne Lindsay, Toni Joiner, Michael Austin, and others. Mr. Miller even taught my son trumpet. That was really wonderful. As a matter of fact, recall I used to play clarinet. Well, I have been thinking recently that I want to get a sax. I was thinking that it would help me to relax while I am in my studies to just have a mellow horn to blow my troubles away. As long as we have music, life is fantastic! I have a good friend who suggested I not get a soprano sax. He plays bass guitar and said that he saw me with an alto sax. I agreed and that is what I will be getting, really soon. I have a leave from school for my research assignment after February so I will probably look into it then. Outside of school...Expand for more
