My name is Lucy, and if there’s one thing I’ve always been certain about, it’s this: I was meant to be a teacher.
Even as a kid, I’d line up my dolls and pretend to teach them how to read. It wasn’t a phase. It was a dream that stuck.
Forty years later, I was still walking into the same school building every morning.
It was a dream that stuck.
I’d built a life there. Awards on the walls. “Best Teacher” medals. Positive letters from parents. Articles in the local papers. Grateful smiles from students and their parents.

That school wasn’t just where I worked.
