Stews

Talk about stews.Whenever I went to Jackson, I thought I had gone to heaven. I have been there 14 long years and yet I have enjoyed every one of my days with the children. I went there when we did the famous boundary change and listened to parents complain constantly how they had ruined the southside. I heard who was responsible and who was guilty of the decision. Needless to say when you get down to it, teachers for the most part want to teach children who have parents who are involved but not too involved. I have taught some of the best students the southside school had to offer, but in all honesty, I lived and spent ever day of my life with two of the best. What can I say about my girls. I have seen them grow into young ladies with assets I always wished I had. I think God heard all those prayers when I was little girl. I've always wanted to move east since I settled here so I could be closer to the family but I wouldn't trade the friendships we have made here in Abilene the last 32 years. Yes, there have been hurts and disappointments but there have been smiles and laughter. My girls had some of the best teachers in town and some that were a shame to the profession.Perhaps I will retire at Jackson but who knows what will happen. We'll see.
