The Fire!

Corrie's Mom
A fire was started by a neighbor, and the wind made it spread.

Today, while I worked at school, a neighbor started a brush fire on their property. The wind picked up the fire, and spread into the woods on our property. Thankfully, the fire departments responded promptly to control the fire. No one was injured, the house and Corrie’s gardens are safe.

My husband, John, and our son, Hayes, drive the golf cart around the side of the property where the fire spread.

They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.
