The background is that when I was 8 and my sister was 10, our elementary school was shut down. It was a really fantastic, small school. Our parents and the staff fought to keep that school alive because they all believed in it so much, but it was closed for practical reasons. I remember my mom got on tv for giving a particularly insensitive school board member the business. It was a sad time, but we moved onto a new school. A lot of great things happened because of the switch. Tara made friends that she might not have otherwise and through one she met her husband! I ended up going to a different high school than I would have otherwise, which is where I met Mason, but I also faced two tough years of bullying by kids I never would have met had I not gone there. There was good and bad because of it. The site of my first and favourite school is covered by condominiums, which is a little sad to see.
