Colette's Story
Raised three kids, worked management, after earning first degree. Lived in Utah, Arkansas, Northern Calif, Oregon, and now Texas. Earned a second degree, and went into teaching. Earned a masters degree of library science and am now an elementary librarian in Dallas, TX.
My kids are all grown, having children and lives of their own here in Texas, and in Bellingham, Washington. Six grand kids, Forest 14, Alex 14, Noah 12, Lilly 7, Ezra 3 in a few weeks, Isiah almost 1 year old. Six grands in all, all wonderful and I miss them as they are far enough away it is somewhat of a trip to visit them. Have never really met Forest, he lives in Utah with another family, not my son.
My best friend, Erick and I have been married, for better or worse, almost 24 years. We are living a life of newly weds. He is a tech, but drives a rig due to economic times.
My mom lives about two miles away, his mom lives about 20 miles further. Both have health issues and sometimes need ...Expand for more
a bit of attention. Mom is a little worse as Parkinson's is difficult to deal with on a daily basis. The heat here in Texas is too much for her, but then so is most anything, including great stuff. We are definitely in the Oreo generation.
I love my job, 600+ students, 65 faculty members, thousands of books, many hats, and loads of work, but it's great. No, we are not paid to shush people all day, but to teach kids and even faculty members how to locate and disseminate information, even kindergartens write papers as assignments. It's a great work! Encouraging kids to read just for the fun of it is phenomenal!
I am a star! Don't have to be on film, just get kids to love reading and no matter if you are at the grocery store, or Disney World, they seek you out and holler, "Hey, Mrs. Eason!" with a huge smile, a wave, and often a hug! My grands did ask me to stop giving books for every holiday! That is until I give them the one they just LOVE!
Happy Reading!
