We have 2 weeks left in this year
and it is the funniest thing, as each day comes to an end ..spoiler alert.. You
probably did this in school too with summer fast approaching.. Everyone
pretends they want out. Everyone. Students and
teachers alike.“Can we just have a free day? it’s summer!”
“Oh just counting the days..”
“We’re almost there..”
Without fail, come 5th
period.. quotes like that start shooting out of peoples mouths as if they were
getting paid to say it ( which, if you listen to teachers, we aren't getting paid for anything, and if
you listen to the media we are getting overpaid for everything) I am personally
in the middle. Being from a short sales background and having good friends in
the industry ( what up y'all ) performance pay seems like a favorable and
logical idea.. but then again so does the ideas and principles of communism
and these ..to no surprise.. are not working out for anyone.
I regress.
Back to the topic.. people want
out. But they don’t. No one really wants out. We spend the majority of our year
together. We get to know each other (almost more than we’d like) We get to know
families.. their dynamics.. their passions.. their short comings.. their drama…their
triumphs.. and we get to build a relationship with 300 students most of which we
met this year and then we all want to leave ..students and teachers included? Hardly.
Hell.. my seniors just left and I’m
hoping they start blogs about THEIR lives just so I can make sure they are
okay.
Pretend all you want.. leaving is
never fun.. or easy.. or wanted.
