Why do some people seem to have been born with a little something extra -perhaps the term is just ” divine grit” that will take you through any life challenge-a good way to recognize Veterans Day this year!
Yesterday my beloved Tigers won big and since Clemson started as a military school they put on a drama tribute to their veterans.
Still love Joan’s creative take on the emoji prayer but instead of praying …. God is clapping for me! Cheering me on!!!!!!!!
Honors and Rewards were given out Thursday-and Rutledge was highly recognized!
Lachlan made all A’s too and as his special tribute he honored Poppy Dingle ( Grand dad ) Poppy who saw much intensive action on an aircraft carrier.
I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents
were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my
grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old
Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended
Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters
Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am
presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also
taught at the College of Charleston.
For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy
matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of
stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message
through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret
of success in teaching social studies is always in the story.
I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest
teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re
ripe you rot.”
Prayers coming your way…for a peace that passes understanding….
You are the veteran of cancer fighting…praying for comfort through your journey.
Ian the veteran of loving Beth
