And this is my modular classroom now. (They don't like it when we call them trailers.) In fact, every school in our town is now in modulars. There is nothing like a disaster to show you the true character of your colleagues and fellow townspeople. Each of us found out rather quickly what we were made of. So what have I learned?
- I'm stronger than I think.
- My attitude is more important than the circumstances.
- A little creativity can go a long way to make situations bearable.
- We're all in this together. We never go it alone.
Tough times come. They aren't fun. We survive, adapt, and make the best of the hand we are dealt. And I like to think we are better because of the trials--the tornadoes. They shake us up and remind us not to store up our treasures on earth. Things don't matter-- people do, and they won't be around forever either. Now is all we have.
