Today there was a list of 40 public school closings in Philadelphia in June 2013. As I read the article I saw that both my old Jr. High and Senior high schools were closing. I posted this information on our high school alumni page with sadness.
I reminded myself that everything must change and nothing stays the same. Sometimes I like going into an old neighborhood and reflecting on old memories of my past days as a student. I have even stopped in to a school that I attended to see if I would recognize a familiar face.
With these two school closings, there were special memories. I student taught in my former Jr. High School which became a middle school recently and I became a faculty member at my old high school where I taught mathematics for eight years. So, you can see, that there is a special place in my heart for these two schools. Although, I experienced a few moments of sadness, I realized that change is life and life is change.
Meditation: contemplate on, everything changes except God that lives within me and is changeless. Breathe deeply. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths. Go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
