Twenty-three years ago, a beautiful little girl was born. From the get-go, she was sweet, sensitive, and rather shy. She has grown into a young woman of whom I am so proud. She has worked hard to overcome challenges, and recently told me she is trying to face her fears, and asked me if I would write her story and share it here on the blog, in hopes she can inspire others through their own struggles. Although I offered to publish an auto-biographical piece for her, she wanted me to write her story from my perspective. At her request, and with her approval of this post, I share the following:
The phone rang, and the social worker on the other end informed me that a baby girl had been born 10 weeks early and drug-exposed. She wasn't ready to be released from the medical facility where she was currently staying, but would we be interested in being her foster-to-adopt parents? Of course!

Enlightening experience all over! Sign of Evolution too. You're never done learning I believe.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever in your comments! You should join the A to Z challenge next time!
DeleteEducation is the link to the past, present, and future.
ReplyDeleteI like that! History is important.
DeleteWhat a cute school, with the bell and everything'
ReplyDeleteAnd after graduation, keep learning! Through our lives, we're out of school way longer than in, and have the opportunity to learn whatever we want. As I know you do. :)
Education is much more than formal schooling, that's for sure!
DeleteEducation is really great. Paying back student loans. . . not so much. ;)
ReplyDeleteTrue, but education is one of the few things worth going into debt for.
Delete...a college? yow.... how many students? still in operation?
ReplyDelete(actually pretty cool, being that small: 'Class today we study American History.... who has the textbook?'... lol a little education humor)
being comfortable learning and acquiring (an) education is good, getting enjoyment from the very process is excellent.
I don't know why it is called "College." It was my mom's elementary school. It is still in operation. I don't know how many students there were, nor do I know how many there are now.
DeleteI agree that learning should be fun, even when it takes effort.
Looks like the building is well-perserved. As well as mom??? Education takes place EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteMom is definitely aging kindly.
DeleteI was with Clark... maybe College is a regionalism for the district or something? I miss school... I wish it wasnt so expensive I would go back again.
ReplyDeleteI should ask my mom and see if she knows. I imagine you are right.
DeleteWhat a wonderful picture! A good teacher is the best thing any of us can ever have.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute little school! Love that it's still in operation.
