My Story: KYurk
1840s
Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Westward Migration:
One of the first chapter book series I remember reading was Little House on the Prairie--and it was a true story! I read Laura, played Laura, and even made my Mom sew me a bonnet. Which I wore in public on occasion.
1833
Horace Mann’s Reforms:
Mann was the creator of universal free public schools, called common schools. Because of this reform program, I have professional training requirements and teach all students in my community. I also met Mr. Kromer at a teachers’ meeting.
1870s
Oberlin College Created:
The reforming spirit of the early 19th century led to the creation of utopian Oberlin, a place of “learning and labor” that combined the idea of manual labor to help your college with devoted study. A great place to enhance my already great nerdiness.
1970s
Sunshine Family Dolls:
Only the 70s could see the rise of an anti-Barbie family of hippie dolls noted for their wholesome nuclear family unity. To this day, I and my daughter disdain all things false and Barbie like.
1916
National Parks Created:
The preservation idea led to the creation of parks of awesome beauty set aside for all to enjoy. We camped in NPs during vacations all through my childhood and I will do the same this summer with my own children.
Eastern European Migration:
Most of my great grandparents migrated to the US in order to escape poverty and autocratic rule. Their stories sparked my interest in history.
