      My grandmother always said that she loved being at the school with her children. My dad said that he felt there was a high expectation of him since she was a counselor there. But as he got older, he appreciated it more. Living in a small town was hard. She was still the counselor at the school when me and my siblings were at the school. She retired after 50 years when I was in the 4th grade, my sister was in 6th grade, and my brother was in 9th grade. She gave us a wonderful legacy indeed.
