Some of you may know I work full time at a local high school as an Educational Assistant, a job which allows me to work with students who may need a little extra help in their classes. Also, as most of you know I really enjoy being around the energy of youth and young adults. I can't explain it, there's just an honesty which comes through them once they accept you into their communities. This honesty is a blessing to be around.
Yesterday was my first day back to work after about 2 1/2 weeks of vacation and I have to say that it was great to be back at school. Yesterday was the beginning of a new semester, the final one before the end of this school year. Last semester we had our challenges with a few students in helping them understand that they are responsible for everything that happens to them. Yesterday, these students, or at least some of them, showed up on time and ready to work. We even had one of those students come after school to do some work in order not to fall behind, and with the help of a few around her, she did more in one afternoon than she did in almost an entire month last semester.
It's a new year, a time to re-invent yourself. What you become is up to you. Change happens regardless of your decisions, where you stand among that change is up to you. What I can tell you is that you will not journey on the road of change alone - ever. There are people around you who are waiting to help guide you, or just travel with you. Let them in, let them walk with you, and together maybe you will be able to do more this year than you have ever done in all the years of your life so far.
We are put in this world to help maintain the life which has been given to us. Not just our lives, but the lives of those around us as well as the life of the earth itself. Let this be the year we do that which we were meant to do; live in balance with all of creation.
I believe it can happen. Do you?
