Well, it is hard to believe, but it is already February. I'll never forget the times that my mom and dad would say "as you get older, time goes by so much faster." My brother, sister and I would just roll our eyes and laugh. Not too shocking, but we now say the same thing.
This seems to happen as a teacher as well. Every year about this time, I start to think, "everything has gone too fast, I'm not even close to being done with my students." Now that I have started my Master's of Leadership in Education, I'm beginning too see even more people feel the same way.
There seems to be so much to "teach" to children in this day and age and I sometimes wish that everything could and would just "slow down." And then there are times that I'm ready for everything to "speed up." Oh well, I guess what is best, is to do all I can do and pray that everything works out the way it needs to work out.
