Aunt Crete's Emancipation
Grace Livingston HILL (1865 - 1947)
Aunt Lucretia - 'Crete' to her family - is a sweet, patient older woman, who lives with her narrow-minded sister and spoilt niece, acting as their unpaid and unappreciated domestic servant. When they leave town in order to avoid the unexpected visit of a "backwoods" cousin, she is left at home to welcome him. She's willing to love him whatever he's like, and he's looking for a home having lost his mother years before, so the two are ready to become fast friends. But what does that mean for Aunt Crete's prejudiced relatives and how can their wrongs against her be remedied? - Summary by Cori

This is NOT my first time listening. Nor my second or third. I have enjoyed listening to the story so much that I keep coming back to listen again. Thank you LibreVox ❤
Me too! I thought I was the only one, :). I am disabled and going through periods of paralysis, where I'm bed ridden. Most friends aren't available during your ":dark night of the soul, so I am extremely fortunate to hear beautiful stories like this, (that resemble some pasts of our lives, if we're honest), narrated perfectly, and the best thing about them? The underdog wins. I love stories like this.
You have a lovely voice Ma. Corey Samuel ❤ Thank you for reading my favorite book. ❤ from 🇨🇱

Excellent Audio Book Thank You 🌟
Absolutely loved this. Couldn't stop listening to the story. Brilliant 👍
08/14/2024 I thank God for this adorable audio. I can't stand watching or listening to current events. 😢
One of my favorites. I like how being loving and speaking livingly to a person can transform them into who they were meant to be!
Very true! I know this is an old comment , so please forgive me for butting in; but for all parents, teachers, managers, etc. , if you aren't familiar with the concept of the Halo effect, it's an important part of not only teaching, but to make people aware of the true person God meant them to be.
I first learned about the Halo Effect in around 1986, while attending Seton Hall University. It doesn't increase intelligence or IQ points, it does indicate the extent to which environment ( nurture), over nature, ie. the talents a person is born with.
I'll explain the experiment briefly: There were approximately 60 students, all equal academically; in other words, they just picked 60 students at random, with one being the control group.
In one class of thirty,, the teacher of this group was told that because of the incredible job the teacher had been performing, she was to be given the best students ( all A's). ( They appealed to his/her hubris. Further, that they should be a breeze to teach, because of their genius abilities.
Needless to say, the teacher stressed to them how they were definitely in the top couple of percent compared to other students. The teacher went above and beyond,, because they assumed that any difficulties, study habits, low grades were due to their own shortcomings as a teacher. So they tried again , over and over until they turned them into Honors students,,( at which they succeeded). They had no idea that they were either achieving top grades because deep down they WERE " brilliant Students " , or what seems more likely, that a student will identify ( rise or lower their grades, attention in class and ability to focus, based on what they have been told). Right after the very first test or quiz,,they evaluated their performance and figured out what exactly needed to be done to bring them up to the, " Winners Circle, ".
In the other group of 30 students (all taken from the same pool of candidates) the teachers were basically told that although it would not be easy , unfortunately, someone had to teach this class. The students in this class,, began underachieving from Day One. This resulted in them achieving, C's and D's,. The students were not surprised, and neither were teachers. It had been drummed into them from Day one,, that they weren't going to succeed and the teacher, by words or actions, made it clear that they didn't expect anything.
After learning this,, once I began teaching ,, I endeavored to teach " each and every student " that they had been selected for my class because they were brilliant . I told them that they were above average
I set them up with study groups, used software so that I could enter the data and information they had to learn this week, and they easily memorized it, while playing Bingo, Wheel of Fortune, Hangman, as well as a bunch of other games.
Once they achieved their first " A", I had the class stand and give them a standing ovation, welcoming them to the Winner's Circle. They also received a framed award for " Most Improved, " done on parchment with calligraphy, and presented it to them in front of the class.
This changed their lives overnight by changing their opinion of themselves and their capabilities, and increasing their self esteem.
Since the class was rolling enrollment (meaning that every month we had students graduating, and every month we had brand new students. It was an 8 month class , not including externship, so if I had to leave class for a meeting I would say. ,":,Where are my seniors? You are in charge in my absence. This gave them a sense of responsibility, and self esteem.
What I discovered was, short of severe learning disabilities,,there is a big difference between a student who is incapable of learning and those teachers who are incapable of being taught.
The whole key is to paint a picture of them as a success, and make it so real to them that they can see it themselves and work towards it , even when you aren't in the room..
Now that I am disabled, and am no longer teaching, I wanted to make sure this information was not lost; because it really is true. It doesn't matter whether you are a teacher, manager or parent. It works.
@@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037 this study was actually done to show how many students fail to achieve because the teachers only give attention to a few kids supposedly expected to do well and to show that if even underachievers are treated the same way that they can and will excel even higher than many of the students that initially were thought to do better.
this was done because teachers were not doing their job and to show the education system this, teachers this, and students. also this was done with parents too.
i sadly wonder how many thousands of kids over the years have fallen through the cracks. teachers were also excluding their attention to kids of lower economic class, dirty clothes or wearing the same outfits or judging the parents if there were or werent any. im sorry if you were a good teacher but there may have been one or two in all the years i went to school that made a thorough effort and i went to what was considered the best school in the area. and all these cities and younger generations now show that this was common in every school everywhere around the entire country.
seton schools in my area are catholic schools and they operate on a very different plane.
@@jessicajae7777 Yes,, I know you are right. I taught only adults, but many of those were young men and women who had fallen through the cracks at their secondary schools and graduated anyway, even though they had low self esteem and had learned nothing. Understand that I am not defending teachers by my comment; actually I'm doing the opposite,, because I took students every day that I heard were hopeless and had come to believe they were hopeless , and showed them that it was not true.
Can one person change everything,? Or turn around our entire education system,? No. But I proved that the Halo Effect is real,, and proved it to such an extent that no teachers in my school could any longer use the excuse that their students were just unteachable. Did I change the world,? No. But I definitely changed it for the 600 or so,, students I graduated; and I was never more proud than when my group of students paraded up, one by one, to get their diploma, all wearing their honors' stoles. It made a difference to them.
After all,, if each person,, no matter their career,, where they lived or what they had, did their best within their sphere of influence to lift others up, instead of courting popularity by pushing others down to raise themselves up, think what this world could be.
So, yes, your premise is correct; but as I see it, there are only 2 alternatives: to give it up as a lost cause and not even try, or to roll up your sleeves and get in there and at least do what you can, and maybe change some people's thinking along the way.
All one person can do is one's best; more than that cannot be realistically expected by anyone. I think I can confidentally say, that I did do my absolute best every day. I told my students right from Day One that I was not there to be liked. Lol. It would be nice, but certainly was not a requirement. In fact, the teachers I hated the most in school for their strictness and for forcing me to do my best , are the teachers I most appreciate now.
I told my students that I considered teaching them a sacred trust; every time I stood in front of that class, I found it humbling how much money they were paying to take a chance on a new life,, just to listen to me teach. This thought was never lost on me. I took it very seriously and they knew it.... that I would not allow a single dollar of their tuition money to be wasted , and that I would do my absolute best to try to teach them EVERYTHING I knew within the time constraints I had. I told them they might grumble and fuss and hate me,,,and I was fine with that,, but that someday they would thank me ( and many did,) because they would remember the things I taught them. ( I spent months and years studying on my own time, the strategies to converting knowledge acquired into storage in long term memory, rather than remember it just long enough to pass the test
I think this intrigued them more than anything that I ever said. In this day and age, where everyone markets themselves as a brand or product, and presents themselves like a stock they are day trading ie. How were my likes today,? Did I close up or down,,?, the idea of someone not caring whether they were liked or not, was so foreign to them,, that I hooked them,, so to speak,, early on, if for no other reason than novelty to see how this would play out. If every teacher tried this,,we would not have children or people falling through the cracks. We must catch them, and reach out a hand to pull them up ,," before" they fall completely.
I'm writing all of this hoping that parents, teachers and managers will read my words and feel a twinge of conscience and realize that if you are just ," mailing it in" as the old saying goes, and not giving your absolute best effort, you are doing these people a disservice and you need to either change jobs or start applying yourself.
Great book, 📖
awesome reading 🗣Voice💕
THANK YOU 🤗
Loved It! Wonderful Reading!!
what a sweet beautiful little story although i dont think a single penny not even an ice cream cone should have been given to them but a thorough tongue lashing to put them in their place. im pretty disappointed it ended with sending those abusive spoiled horrible people what in that time would have been an enormous amount of money. i really dont think they learned a single thing except to feel sorry for themselves. but at least she was saved and cared for by her benevolent loving nephew.
when peoples way of thinking is so very broken no matter how harsh whatever it takes to make them force them to change their way of thinking is the only way to change the world. this is why things dont change but get worse because people are allowed to get away with being evil and self centered. i guess ive been through this and know very well some people like this and they make their space in the world worse.
otherwise i love this author. i listened to enchanted barn first and that story was even better than this. i cant wait for the next one.
i hope anyone reading this doesnt intimately know anyone like this. they can really make your life so miserable.
spread love and kindness and compassion
Such a good story and well read.
lovely story really enjoying 😊
What a great story 💞
An exceptional reading of an exceptional book!
A very good book. Thank you so much..........
Good enough for snooty Luella and her mother.
Life was very hard then for a woman without money and education or a family business. Families were legally required to support poor relations who couldn't work or support themselves if they could afford it. They could actually be dragged into court if the poor relations had to go to the poor house because relatives would not take them in!
