Garrett and the late Josephine Robinson Garrett in a little town called Waveland Mississippi, southeast of Louisiana. I’m the fourth (4) of Fourteen (14) children.
Born in rural Louisiana I Emma Garrett spent my childhood keeping house and helping caring for my sick father while my mother supported the family. While living across the street from my mother and father, building my career and caring for the family had been everything to me. I never had time for those things other people seemed to enjoy for relaxation. For example, I never had time for movies, never learned how to play games, to me work and growth were the same, and without my work and family I found that there was no reason to get out of bed each morning. I started to write a book once before --- shortly after retiring from a fourth (40) year’s career in teaching. Thus after retirement the only thing left for me to do was to think back over those active and productive years. During my career I had faced and solved many problems that were unique to women working outside their home. When I decided to organize my thoughts by writing down all the lessons learned from my mother and grandmother, I was inspired to write this manuscript.
In 1949 my first degree was in General Education, then attend North Western University in Natchitoches, Louisiana were I received my BA degree in Fine Art and Children Literature. In 1954 I received my Master’s Degree from Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana in Physical Education and Child Psychology.weniger sehen
