What a terrific story. All the more amazing because it is true. I worked with youth at risk for 7 years and understand. No wonder you love your farm and work so well with your animals. You've paid your dues.
I loved everything about this, so very much! incredible. so many hard things here. those kids were incredibly lucky to have your there.
I can identify with being a single mom with multiple jobs and my kids just having to come along many times to a variety of things. I also created a creative outlet for the kids when I first began teaching, having no idea what I was doing, but going on instinct. we made movies after school, using a phone and laptop. they wrote, acted, made scenery, brought clothes for costumes and they were brilliant. most were the kids who didn't fit in with other parts of school and here they shined. I absolutely loved it

I do miss the teaching though. The kids were and still are such wonderful humans.
Me too. And very misunderstood humans.
