Collis Crayton listens to her granddaughter, Modesty Rena Taylor, and patiently answers all of her questions about horses and animals in general Sunday, February 8, 2009. “I’ve always liked being around kids,” says Crayton, “That’s what brought me to education in the first place.” He says that not only they learn from him, but he also learns from them. “You know, I spend my time in two very different environments: at school, surrounded by kids, and then, I go to the barn and I’m around animals. I mean, I’m between two diferent worlds and enjoy both of them.” That’s because, he points out, he learns from both kids and animals, “and all of them keep me happy and smiling.”
