Jarrett memoir - Chapter 1 - Volutsia’s Calling","Journey to Restoration by Willda A. Jarrett, ATC, FNS, CNC, presents an autobiographical origin story grounded in family, faith, and perseverance in Wichita, Kansas. The narrative frames her spiritual and vocational calling through childhood experiences on Volutsia Street, shaped by close-knit hospitality, community evangelism, and sustained traditions with the Sanders family. It also situates her early life within segregation and social injustice, connecting personal formation to broader local history, including pivotal civil rights moments and Wichita’s cultural legacy through sports and civic landmarks. The chapter emphasizes how family values became lasting morals, ethics, resilience, and a desire to serve others.","JOURNEY TO RESTORATION\nWillda A. Jarrett, ATC, FNS, CNC\nWichita\nIn the words of the 2004 NFL Hall of Famer, Barry Sanders, “Volutsia’s Calling”. That was the title of chapter 1 in his memoir “Now you See Him. Like Barry, my calling also began on Volutsia Street. As a child I was only a stone's throw away from where Barry grew up with his parents, and 10 siblings.  My parents William (Donald) and Joyce Drake were kin to the Sanders and moved to the same neighborhood. To me, they were Uncle William and Aunt Shirley.  They significantly influenced my early child development. The way I would later strive to serve others and carry myself as an adult was a direct result of the impact they had on me. The Sanders residence was just six houses down the street on a two block stretch of Volutsia Street, one mile west of Wichita State University.\nIt was a segregated community that was identified as the \"black\" side of town. Aunt Shirley conducted outdoor child evangelism classes and bible studies for the neighborhood kids. My mother wouldn’t allow us to spend the night at anyone's home except our parent's families, I credit the many days we spent at the Sanders house with Aunt Shirley for giving me a heart for children and a passion for child evangelism. Although the house was quite small for the number of people who lived there, our time at the Sanders playing with my cousins was full of love, joy and happiness. These were happy times that will be etched in my mind forever.\nThe Sanders home was always a welcoming place where we could have a slumber party, foot races in the street, and backyard picnics. Because of Uncle William's hospitable nature, we enjoyed \"roasting weenies\" late into the night in his big metal trash can using wire clothes hangers or perfectly crafted sticks to char the wieners. We filled our bellies with hotdogs, chips, and pop while we sang songs and played around the backyard campfire. These get togethers even continued long after my family moved from the neighborhood. Over the course of the next 50 years we moved out of state and the Sanders moved to the \"other\" side of town but we still found our way back to the “heart” of Volutsia Street. The street addresses may have changed but our traditions didn’t. We still found our way back to the Sanders new residence for slumber parties, backyard wiener roasts and the same family fun. The same activities that shaped our childhood on Volutsia Street. Their new home was a far cry from their humble beginnings. Although the acreage around the property and the square footage of the house changed, they never did. Their home continued to be filled with the same hospitality, affection, compassion, strength, discipline and love. It was these early life-lessons that have shaped and forged my morals, values and ethics.\nMy parents were born in different parts of Oklahoma but somehow as children, the hearts of their parents aligned and each of their nuclear families migrated to Wichita, Kansas. I was born Willda A. Drake. That's Willda with two L’s because my father was hoping for a William, Jr. Choosing a name that began with Will was the closest he could get, until my brother was born a year later. My parents took me home from Wesley Medical Center where my big sister Viveca was waiting for me. Here on Volutsia Street we would eventually become a quiver of five little ones whose parents were trying to navigate their way through the segregated streets of Wichita. In fact, the only white people I had ever seen was the police officer who gave me a lift home after finding me on the swing set at Ingalls’s Elementary School, while waiting for my big sister to come out.  My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. March was white and I had a great-aunt, a nice, old white woman that was married to my paternal grandmother’s brother.\nDespite the obstacles and the stress of raising a young family in this segregated community, my parents laid a foundation and cornerstones that would forever impact and shape ","cbCaiqlaLJb6Kqi3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqlaLJb6Kqi3","docx",125378,76,"English","en",105,"# Journey to Restoration\n## Volutsia’s Calling and early family influences\n## Segregated community and childhood traditions\n## Names, birth, and navigating Wichita as a young child\n## Faith-based values and shaping a career path\n## Wichita history, civil rights, and sports heroes","[{\"question\":\"What is “Volutsia’s Calling” in the narrative?\",\"answer\":\"It is the title referenced from Barry Sanders’ memoir and used here to describe Jarrett’s own sense of calling beginning on Volutsia Street.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Jarrett’s family and the Sanders household influence her?\",\"answer\":\"She credits them with teaching hospitality, compassion, discipline, faith, and a passion for serving and evangelism, reinforced through shared childhood traditions.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does Wichita’s segregation and social injustice play in the story?\",\"answer\":\"Segregation frames the obstacles her family faced, and the text links those challenges to Wichita’s broader civil rights history and moments of resistance.\"}]","JOURNEY TO RESTORATION - Willda A.
