Most of yesterday my family ( in their mother’s new abode) was busy… everyone but me (I wasn’t allowed) -busy moving furniture and all kinds of things-Started working early in the day for the simple fact that this family loves their Clemson Tigers! Big game last night…. and all day more Christmas decor from Susan and others-I was allowed a sneak peek and was filled with love and genuine gratitude!
Then I was invited to Tommy and Kaitlyn’s to watch the game at their house spending the night.
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.”
Becky …I love your new place but confused as to why it was needed..Are you ok ?I know about your battle with little “c” but do you just need to be closer to Dr.s and family.? Of course prayers are understood.
Out of an abundance of love, your family has created a lovely little nest in which you can rest and recover. What a comfortable, peaceful new abode you have. What precious people! Love to everyone!
Love and peace…sent to you…❤️🙏🙏❤️
