Despite our most valient efforts, we cannot escape our destinies. It's like that moment when everything is going wrong. It slips out of your hand. The glass cup tumbles towards the ground in slow motion, drink and all. All you have to do is divert it's course. Grab it from it's free fall before it meets it's inevitable doom. It's easy. It's just that easy, but it really isn't. Theres no stopping it. In many ways the ball has already been set into motion the moment the cup slipped from your hand. You turn away. You ignore it. Maybe it'll go away. There is no glass on the floor to sweep, no cuts. Just a lesson to be learned.
In many ways my quarter is the falling cup. It's been falling. I turn and look away, trying to ignore the sillhouette of the cup falling. I pay attention to the things around me instead and that's where everything went wrong. I click on student access and then slide my mouse over to "grades". I don't want to see the glass shatter.
In my mind, I see the words. "Everything always turns out ok." I wish life were as simple as those 5 words, but it isn't. Life is complex, full of lessons to be learned. My lesson today is not to turn away. Face your destiny. Alter it before it's too late. You CAN stop the glass from hitting the floor. Theres a reason it all happens in slow motion.
Let's get straight A's next quarter
