Hello, class! I wanted to take you on a journey through the places that shaped my young life - my first home and my Chicago Public School locations.
The most important place for me was home. My parents struggled to make sure we had all we needed, even though we didn't have much at all. They did a wonderful job, because I never felt like we were actually poor, even though I could see later that we were squarely in the lower-income bracket. I still have fond memories of my time there. and hated to leave when we did!
The schools I went to, Brownell and Deneen Elementary, and Lindblom Technical High School, were all in low income areas with struggling families, and still took care of my educational and "growing up" needs. I mentioned my favorite teacher, Mrs. Virginia Brown, in my Brownell School placemark, and have a picture of her with our 4th grade class in my home collage.
I hope you all enjoy the trip, and never forget the rough journeys you all took to get where you are now!
