Sandra's Story
I enroll in John Muir for the 1962-63 school year, my freshman year. I and my 7 sibling were from Miami Florida. I had very few friends at John Muir because I was shy in public. My sister Barbara was the popular one. At home I ruled. I remember the first names of a few people but mostly I remember faces. I think I remember Sylvia or maybe it was Sylvannah , Milton, Novelle, Haroldlyn and Octavia Butler. I lived on El Serenio St. in a big pink house down the street from Haroldlyn (Robertson I think). Haroldlyn and I played tennis together occasionally. Haroldlyn's mom died, I was sad for Haroldlyn. 1966 I remember she married a previous boyfriend James Flannory. James dropped out of high school in his junior year I think. I had a crush on a guy named Eugene in school. We attended Mr Pappas's Social Studies class together.. I think he liked me too but I was " chubby " and like I say" shy". Once, I went to study at another guy friend's house but I do not remember his name. His parents made sure his bedroom door was opened while we studied. I was chubby and he had a girl friend and I had Jam...Expand for more
es so my guy friend and I were just study buddies . I cried at graduation because I hated leaving school. Whoever was with me that day thought I was weird because everybody else wanted to get out of high school. I left Calif the summer after graduation, ( family issues). I returned to Miami and attended Miami-Dade Junior college 1965-66 year. Florida Atlantic for a while. I ended up in Ohio and completed my BS in Education at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Married and Divorced in a 3 year period. Moved to Dallas Texas, attended East Texas State for my Med in School Counseling. I teach gifted and Talented students in DeSoto, Tx now. I am thinking about retirement . . maybe.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have prayer, a song, and a cup of coffee to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
I have a couple of heroes. Jesus the Christ my savior, and the non-existent Edward Collin from Twilight
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Octavia and Haroldlyn, because well just because..
The passing of my daughter has been my biggest surprise (shock). Old age is my next surprise.
