Sunrises and Sunsets
The life of a teacher is filled with beginnings and endings. Twice a year there's an end. Twice a year there's a beginning. It's an interesting perspective to live with. The psychological impact it has is interesting too. You can sense the approaching "end" in the air. The upcoming start to something fills you with anticipation and glee. I don't think I would choose a different way of life though. It's stimulating. It keeps me on my toes. It helps me appreciate the moments one at a time. It makes the progression from one phase to another more apparent in my thinking. I like it. It's a good life.
