It is cold outside, and a bit chilly inside as well.  I made sure to close the window when I entered the room, and it was quickly warming up.  We all sit on top of the desks to provide a comfortable environment for our interview; Kaitlin Greene, aspiring teacher, is telling the story of her childhood, growing up on a farm just outside of Ottawa.  "I remember one Christmas morning," she says, "when my father gave me a toy tractor; one of those big ones with the realistic parts.  My mom gave me a Beauty and the Beast doll set, and I remember I wasn't interested in the tractor at all."  As Kaitlin tells us her story, I can feel the vivid imagery in her memory.  I can practically smell her grandmother's Butterscotch Pie cooking in the oven, and I sense the feeling of being safe inside a warm home when the snow is piling up all around.  I watch as though looking at an old home video on VHS as Miss Greene's father (looking very much like Pierce Brosnan) tries to capture her interest with the tractor.  I see her mother sipping at a glass of heated apple cider, joy in her eyes at seeing her family so happy while the Princess and the Goblins plays in the background.
