Daddy’s Little Girl Lives Diversity to the Fullest


By Aya Kordy

Her name is Linda Forde-Green. She is from Trinidad in the West Indies where she grew up and went to school. She calls it “a place that was dropped out of heaven, just a beautiful tropical island.” She majored in Science at Mercy College. She was a curious child she explained, a child that always wanted to know how things work and what makes them work that way. She has also been "daddy's little girl". She says that her father is the one who made her the person she is today.
After she graduated from High School at the age of 16, she moved to New York City where she got her B.Sc. in Biology. Linda Forde-Green loves animals especially panthers, tigers, and lions which are all exotic cats. Asking her about her only son Donavan was very touching. She describes him by saying that, “He is the joy of my life, a vibrant yet funny child, full of energy and has a great sense of humor.”
Linda Forde-Green comes from a very large family. She has ten siblings. They are a family that is totally diverse in their beliefs, yet they are still very loving to one another. They are seven girls and three boys. Two girls are Muslims, one boy and three girls are Christians, two boys and two girls are Hindus. Miss Linda makes this diversity sound natural by adding, “If you have a heart, it conquers everything”.
The most thing Miss Linda will miss in Egypt by far is the black and white deserts. She added that just looking at the desert makes her know that there truly is a God. As for the people she will most miss at Schutz, she insisted that it is the workers.
Miss Linda enjoys every step of life since every stage has its own memories and joy. "I enjoyed life to the fullest. I do feel truly blessed!", she added. Miss Linda has got no regrets in life; she learned from each mistake and placed it in her box of memories.
