FRAGILE Wallflowers....

I did this LO to document my nomad lifestyle as a child. My step-father was in the Air Force and we moved approx. every two yrs. I went to 11 different schools across the country often moving in the middle of a school year(note the use of cardboard paper ...it is for moving boxes). I've listed them here. One must take into consideration that I may have been in the same city but that I was leaving elementary school and going to middle/junior high school etc...We children had fragmented educations and were always the new kids. We never had long term friends and family outside the immediate family. It was hard and sad. The paper with the "A 100" folded over the "F 64" is a copy of an actual homework assignment from the early years of my grade school. It demonstrates the polarized effects on a child moving from school-to-school. I was the only one of us 4 children to graduate high school....My grades suffered and the stress was more than anyone who hasn't lived through this manic lifestyle could imagine. I tell people there is an education that one cannot learn in a textbook by going through this experience, BUT, this education doesn't win you a scholarship, or good grades on state testing, or hopes for a high paying job. Check the title out again and you will understand it better. I am the female standing.
