I am Shyrell Wisdom, I was born in Jamaica in Kingston , St. Andrew. I attended Seaward Allage School and finished my Secondary Education at Penwood High in Kingston. At Seaward I recall being selected for the school choir for upcoming special events at an early age . I also remember being runner up in the Secondary school beauty pagent at the age of 16. I was somewhat a quiet student who was from my recollections was very active in my academics . In high school my major was Business Education. I left school and hooked up with my husband Paul Wisdom now separated but still married, and from that union produce 4 children who were born in Jamaica. We migrated to the United State on 2 separate immigration process which resulted in me coming later. I am now proudly part of the Services for the Underserve family. As a respected member of the housing facility in Queens, I am also part of their clubhouse in Brooklyn where I am very much active, and also participating in running a poetry group which I volunteer to run every Tuesday. At the club house I am currently training as a trainee Peer Specialist to work with mentally challenged people of different levels and diversities. I attend The Mid Manhattan Adult Training Center in Manhattan. No stranger to writing , I write poetry and have a collection of poems which I hope to publish someday soon.
