Where I Stand...

With everything going on in our country and the world today and with the upcoming holiday, a lot has been on my mind a lot lately.  I decided to take a picture of the American flag which is the view from my front porch where I was tending to my tomatoes.  It stands for our freedom and so much more.  This might be a little deep for The Daily Create today, but it's "where I stand" metaphorically and physically and what I am thinking about right now.

Back to the Story Spine...

Ok, here goes my 8 sentence story about an important event in my life.  I used the famous Pixar story spine to write my story.  (I am totally going to try this with my 3rd graders next year, but it was harder than I thought to make all the sentence starters work...)

Once upon a time I was sitting in an office, staring at a computer screen

Every day it was the same thing over and over and over

But one day, I decided to make a change

Because of that, I talked to mom about possible careers

Because of that, I decided to go back to school to become a teacher; I did a lot of student teaching and subbing

Until finally I got my first job and just finished my second year

And, ever since then I will never sit in an office again!
