I am a runner. I run to relieve stress. I run to lose weight. I run so I can drink. And as a runner I like to pick a race to keep motivated in my training (so that I'll keep running).
May is the part of the race, where you crest that final hill (all races like to put a hill about half a mile to a tenth of mile before the finish line - why?) and the finish line is in sight. There is relief - I made it! But then terror at the same time - still not finished yet and I'm really tired!
So again it's May! I see the end, yet not finished yet and I'm tired.
Even though I'm tired, worn out - I want to finish strong.
I must keep my energy up, to motivate the kids to keep working (AP test are in two weeks!!!).
I must keep re-examining my lessons from this year - what worked, what didn't work?
I must start thinking of next year - what do I need to change? What new subject could I be teaching?
It's May and I'm tired. But it's not time to slow down, it's time to speed up and finish strong (and maybe even look good for that finish line photo)
