WOOO HOOO! After being honored by The Home for Little Wanderers on May 28, 2008 I recieved an email from the Public Relations Manager, Heather MacFarland who is also a fellow Emersonian who wanted to submit a story about me in Emerson's "Expression" Magazine!

I then recieved another email from Christopher Hennessy, a writer for Emerson College's "Expression" Magazine. During the summer Chris and I exchanged several emails to help with editing and clarity. Then on October 29, 2008 Chris sent me the most exciting email - requesting my post mailing address to send me hard copies of the Fall 2008 Expression!!

Now I have been in the CLASS NOTES (1990) section of Expression a few times: Spring 2005, Winter 2007 before and I enjoy reading what other fellow Emersonians are up. Many of them are in Hollywood, or on Broadway, are publishing books and changing the world in many creative ways and living the dreams that we all started with in Boston Massachusetts.

Friends I have to admit I was not ready when the mail arrived the next day and I opened the large white envelope to find a Full page PROFILE of me on page 40! In fact, I certainly didn;t think I was going to cry - but my emotions hit when my daughter Sabrina who turns 11 on Novmeber 14th asked me what was "wrong" I said with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face "I am crying because I am happy see... that's MOM"...as I pointed to my photo in Expression. (how's that for comedy and tragedy?!)

You see I may not have made it Hollywood or on Broadway but it sure is great to be recogized in the Expression Magazine with so many prominent Emerson graduates who are making it and following their dreams!

Although this edition is not yet online because it just came out in print and is being mailed to Emersonian's across the globe here is the link to the archives. If you get a chance - please read page 40 of the Fall 2008 Expression Magazine the Title reads: "Growing Up Fast": Raised without parents, Sherri Raftery '90 overcame every hurdle.

"EXPRESSION IS NECESSARY TO EVOLUTION"?

How about YOU - Are YOU out there EXPRESSING YOURSELF?
