I went to a different school from pre-k to 5th grade. We would have one or two field trips a year and they would assign groups. The way they picked the groups was counting heads and giving numbers to everyone. My friends and I would always move around the room so we would be more likely to be in the same group. Unfortunately someone would always miscount and end up in a different group. Sometimes it was me. Throughout the years, the teachers would catch on and count differently, so we would have been in the same group if we had stayed where we were.
Some things are destined or fated to happen
One of my best friends went to the same sunday school as me all of our childhood and we never knew each other until many years later. When she came to my bat mitzvah (all the way from Mississippi), her mom recognized the temple and told her that they went to this same temple. We never met when she was here, but when we were 10, we were in the same cabin. We weren't even friends then! The last week of the session, I was going to be in the talent show with another girl but she decided not to do it. So Hannah joined me instead. We are the best of friends and we would't have met if my other friend had done the show with me.
Nina, I love the story talking about your friend Hannah. It's such cute story. I also love the example of when teachers count heads, the friends move around. I remember my friends and I doing the same thing! What a great response.
ReplyDeleteI love your relations to both of the Macbeth statements. I agree with both of the above statements as well as you and have similar stories that relate to both. Good job nina!
