Reflection and Purpose
Outside my home office my child who is now ten is dropped off by her bus. I am so fortunate to have her be able to ride a bus to and from school and be picked up and dropped up right in front of my house. Not all students in my district have a bus driver and literally this has been the saving grace to allow me to work from home and have my student attend fifth grade. A year and a half ago, my youngest was just a newborn and that made five kids. At the time, I didn't have a working car and it took eight months before it was fixed. My family and I relied on public transportation, rides from family and friends, and delivery services through out the pandemic in 2020. In my world, lockdown was nearly a year. I gave up searching for mechanics until one day a neighbor let me know there was a mechanic on our street. I decided to give the mechanic a dial and for less than $300.00 my car was fixed when I thought it was just another junker....
