School's out for summer! Promotion was today. Rather crazy, but not so crazy as last year. I still get amazed by what parents will let their daughters wear-super high stilletto heels and super short skirts on super tight dresses-yikes! So glad it was over in just over an hour. But finding your child or family afterwards was a little chaotic. What did people do before cell phones? A cool moment came when the students cheered really loudly for a student. I wondered who it was and realized it was the boy who had run out into the traffic after school 2 days before and had been hit by a car. Amazingly, he only suffered a concussion and some road rash. The kids cheered for him and his miraculous survival. I was encouraged by this pandemonium.
See, teenagers aren't all bad. This school year I was encouraged a few times by the kids at junior high. Many would ask me about my run times when I would run in 7th period PE with them. When I earned my 100 mile run t-shirt in after school fitness club, they congratulated me. If you spend time with teenagers and take a moment to enjoy them, they will encourage you.
