The most important thing I learned from Bob was “don’t eat the sausages”! Amongst many other wonderful things, I learned to pop peas out of pods from Gran and how to punch someone really hard on the arm from Grandad. And from Nana I learned that you help others, no matter how hard things are for you, that you treat everyone with kindness and respect, that you must have high expectations for yourself and your children, that there is more to life than housework, that a windy walk up in the hills is fun even when it’s freezing, and that the sacrifices a mother is prepared to make for the success of her children are just without limits and absolutely worth it. All our grandparents were awesome people, talented and spirited and loving but, although she scared me a lot and often when I was very little, when I think of who has had the biggest impact on the way I see things it’s Nana – she made me a better person.

Most likely they would teach Biology. Most Health tceahers are also PE tceahers and coaches. All the classes that you took to be an RN (chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology) are the endorsement requirements for 7th-12th grade Biological Sciences. Also, there are way more jobs for Biology Teachers than Health tceahers.

No lying in bed until the afternoon because a certain parent would come round with the vacuum cleaner to get people out of bed!

I don’t remember exactly what Hit the Deck was but I do remember those ball games were always loud and usually involved hitting someone or something with the ball. There was at least one occasion when we broke one of the lights in the hall playing one of those games.
