That’s when everything changed.
I was transferring to a brand-new high school that was about to open its doors. However, this new venture was put on hold when the longest teacher strike in Washington State history began. My mom, who worked in the same school district, and I were home as a result. Along with going out on the picket line to support our teachers, we also started watching The Ellen DeGeneres Show, a history-making talk show that debuted that same month.
