My Grandmother

My grandmother was a first-grade teacher. She retired a year or so before I was born, so out of seven grandchildren, I am the only one who benefited from spending time at her house on a daily basis. I remember she would read to me and we would play school, where of course, I was always the teacher. I remember when my Aunt Ella came to live with my grandmother and we would have tea parties. Those are very fond memories and I believe that those special times with my grandmother helped me choose to become an English teacher.
