I spoke with Jeanne to get her take on what she does for the school and why she enjoys it so much. During this interview she stated, “being the secretary for our school is a job that involves a lot

At the end of my first grade year, I moved away from the small, rural town near Vienna where I had lived since I was born. On my first day of school at Lincoln Elementary, I quickly made friends with two girls in my class named Pam and Kelly. Pam and Kelly introduced me to their group of friends that were all in our second grade class. For the rest of the school year, this group of friends was who I played on the playground with everyday and talked to in the classroom. After a great first year of school in Marion, the time came for my third grade year. Every year at Lincoln, there is a day that is close to the beginning of the school year where the students can come to the school to meet their new teacher and look at the class list to see which of their friends is in their class. On that morning, I went to Lincoln to find out who my new teacher was. To my dismay, I found out that all of my friends from second grade had a different teacher than I did. After finding out that I was not in class with any of my friends, I knew that I would have to find a new friend to talk to in my third grade class in addition to having all of my friends from second grade. At the beginning of my third grade year, I hung out with two friends I met named Phyllis and Erin. As the year progressed, I started to hang out with Angela who would soon become one of my best

When my mother was sixteen years old, her brother died in a car accident due to a truck driver running through a red light late at night which crushed my uncles small Volkswagen Beetle. This devastating event was hard for my mother to handle but at the same time, many of her family members were moving away due to separation and my aunt starting college in California which was across the country from my mother who needed support.

She learned ballet, modern, tap, and lyrical dance but concentrated on ballet and modern and she would occasionally skip classes to use the studio. It was after my mom arriving home at midnight multiple nights in a row, grades dropping, and getting classes from missing class that my grandfather called my aunt to ask her to come home to help my mom mourn. My aunt made the hard decision to put her life on hold and go back to New York to live with my mom and help her adjust. The returning of my aunt helped my mother tremendously she felt like she was not alone and had a reason to come home and complete her work. She wished to make her brother proud and go to colleges and achieve her goals because her sister shared with her that she did the same.
