So as I was getting ready, packing my boxes, dropping off unwanted items at goodwill, there were protesters for my big move to California. Especially, because I had not finished my degree. I remember one morning, I was working at the Gym and this kind older woman thought it was appropriate to tell me about her thoughts.
As she walked on the treadmill, she said, "Be careful when you get out there. They will try and change the way you think." I replied, "but isn't that what all teachers try and do?"
"I am not just talking about the teachers, my daughter lives out there you know. She moved out there 17 years ago. When she came back home to visit she had turned lesbian."
Her reply floored me, I just didn't have the heart to tell her.
