Our lives are often like that in many ways. We go through a season or period of time, doing the best we can; however, once that period of time is history, we look back on it a bit differently. We look back on knowing all of the big picture, and many times, we realize that we wish we had that time back again.
In a very few days, you will all be ending out a season of your life. Your days as a middle school student will be complete. (Yay!) For some of you, your time at Goodpasture is ending, as well. You will be going to a new school; you will be moving to a new state; you will be moving on to a new place in your lives. For all of you, you will be starting a new chapter in your lives, as high school students.
For our final blog of this year, I want you to look back and reflect on the last ten months. It doesn't really seem that long since I was going over the year's syllabus with you and collecting green, blue, yellow and red folders. You now have 20/20 hindsight of your 8th grade year.
If back in August, you would have known all that you know now, would you have changed anything? Would you have tried some things differently? Would you have studied harder and tried to do better academically? Would you have tried to have been a better friend or a better example to those around you?
Please respond to these questions in five complete sentences for FIVE (5) extra credit points. This blog will close at midnight on Friday, 5/12.
We don't need to get caught up in living in our pasts, but we can all learn from our past experiences. I hope all of you have a great summer! Don't forget to come back and see me next year!
Love always --
Mrs. Sweet
P.S. Don't forget to -- WRITE ON!
