Edisto School and other thoughts

SCHOOL AND OTHER THOUGHTS OF EDISTO

Growing up and going to school was fun for me on Edisto. Although we had to walk to the Seaside School, for those living in that area, it was enjoyable. I remembered the cold winter days the most because you never forget cold toes. However, we would very timely know when all of the children were on their way coming down Palmetto Road. My sister, and two brothers and I would run across the field and join them on highway 174. Of course walking began in speedy steps with rhythm. I always had to jog ever so often to keep up. You see we were all headed to Seaside school; the uppper grade level in one building and the lower class in another building. One Christmas my brothers got a bike and the two of them pumped their way to school. They enjoyed that.

One of the best things that happened for the Seaside area and other children on Edisto was the building of Jame Edwards Elementary School. It brought jobs, transportation, a new school and a ride to and from school. It also brought socializing with others from all over the Island. Every time I go back home, I'll pay a visit. From this early experience and excellent teachers as role models. I continued in education and taught on the high school level.

There are great lessons to learn from experiences, Struggles and circumstances. It caused me and many residents during that time to reach for more. This is a special quote I thing somes this up. "An atmosphere of beliefs and conceptions has been formed by the labours and struggles of our forefathers, which enables us to breathe amid the various and complex circumstances of our life."
William Kingdon Clifford

Edisto the beautiful. How many of you have visited it and just love it. Freedom to be content and freedom of business ownership, peace and quietness.
