Pre-school. So you can see that I taught children for a total of 39 years, and I loved every moment of my teaching.
I have six grand-children, five girls and one boy. I also have one daughter-in-law, Karen Eley Hathorn, and one son-in-law, Elvadus Rhodes.
My motto is: "If I can't teach the way you can learn, then I must learn to teach the way you can learn".
I am now retired and love every minute of it because I can do what I want to do; when I want to do it, and how I want to do it whenever I am ready to do it.
A childhood memory that I shall never forget was after school while we were waiting on the bus to make a second route, when my sister Shirley got into a fight with my classmate, Buford White. We were neighbors and loved one another. I could hardly stand there and see a boy beat my sister up. I was a person that didn't like to get in trouble. I had no other choice, therefore; I had to help my sister beat up my classmate. Everyone teased him about letting girls beat him up. That was the only trouble that I ever got into at school, but we continued to love one another as good neighbors.
That is what you call true love for your neighbors!
