OOPS

So after talking about accountability in class I of all people forgot when this was to be done. In fact I didn't even look at this stuff until today, so sorry. However I am glad that I didn't blog until know because over break I have something that I would like to bring up. During our amazing week off I went home and spent the entire week doing not much that I would describe as productive when you look at a regular week. I did however come to a realization. While at home I was able to hang with some of my friends that I haven't seen for a long time, those that went to another college, a younger grade than I was or for whatever reason. While hanging with one in particular I found that he has not really matured since high school and is still stuck in that high school stage of his life. It made me think the students that are going to be coming in next year are going to be at very different levels of maturity and it is our responsibility to control and try to connect with each of them. Now in terms of this friend he wouldn't leave me alone the entire week however he never had anything productive to do, as in all he wanted to do was sit and play games. Now I believe that every now then it is worth taking some time and playing games and I do but I cannot do that all day everyday. Now I am not trying to say that he is a bad friend in anyway but he has not really grown up. I just thought that this is a good point to be aware of before next year, we are going to have students that are very productive with their time and have matured a lot while at the same time there are going to be those students who don't really have a care in the world and won't see a point in anything we are doing. It is up to us to reach those students and help them grow and see that there is a point to what we do. So sorry about being late and hope everyone had a good break and will see you on wednesday.
