The Sanctuary of School
The essay I chose to write was over the short article of “The Sanctuary of School” by Lynda Barry. In this story it talks about the author Lynda Barry’s experience with the school from a young age. She talks about growing up in a home with her mom and her dad having money issues, relatives that kept moving in, her brother and her sleeping on the couch, and the constant fighting going on. She explains how she didn’t feel safe at home so she talks about school being a safe haven for her, and how lucky she was that she had Mrs. LeSane and Mr. Gunderson. She said that her and her brother did not mind sleeping on the couch; they actually liked sleeping in the living room on the couch because it let them be by the television. …show more content…
My grandparent’s finally decided that my mother’s house was unfit for a child. When they found out that my mom pretty much had a drug house that was enough, they wanted me out. They came and got me and packed up all my things and moved me into their house, they saved me. I was raised by my grandparents, I now call them mom and dad. I’m so grateful for them they took me out of a rough situation, I’m not sure where I would be today without them. I know that my children will have a way better childhood then I did, I will not allow them to be in bad situations. Kash and Audrey will always have a safe and secure home I will make sure they feel wanted and there will not be constant fighting in our home. I think Lynda in this story explaining her growing up and her story helps other people know how important it is to provide a stable home for children. It also explains how important it is for children to feel safe and wanted at home. To have a place where they can go without a doubt in their mind that nothing bad will happen to them. School may not have been my sanctuary but I understand where the author is coming from I totally agree that every child on this planet should have a sanctuary. Whether it be school, church, grandparents’ house or other relatives it is our duty as adult’s to make that happen for them. I think that every adult with a child should put them first and make sure they feel safe and secure at
