  "account": "The author continues to volunteer at her daughter's former elementary school even though her daughter now attends middle school. She enjoys the sense of community and connection she feels at the school, and finds it a way to honor her own parents, who were both active in their own schools. The author also finds paid opportunities through her volunteering, such as being a preferred substitute teacher. She remains connected to her original parenting friends from the school, and sees volunteering as a way to fill her time during school hours without sacrificing time with her daughter.",
  "summary": "My daughter has moved on to middle school, but I haven't left her elementary school behind. Continuing to volunteer there gives me so much.",
