More about Laura:""I knew a man who had four eyes.He claimed to be so very wise [...]He saw ahead, he saw behind- this he said improved his mind. His claims I don't mean to deride but the bus that hit him came from the side." - Koontz
...In other words, often we think we have a handle on our life, and we're in control. Then ... well as the poem says, "the bus that hit him came from the side." I think of this rhyme often when I try and take too much control over something that was really never mine to begin with, my life.
Family: I have one brother who is 7 1/2 years older and father and mother whom I love dearly. I come from a large, close country family. Family means the world to me. I'd do anything for them.
Friends: I take friendship pretty serious. Anyone whom I consider any kind of friend will have my love, support and help any time they ask for it.
Me: Teaching is my calling. I consider it a spiritual gift not to be taken for granted. I started my first year of teaching in 2011. I have been given an awesome opportunity and responsibility to influence future generations and consider myself truly blessed. I love teaching and plan on doing it for the rest of my life in some capacity or another.".
