Thankfully, this week has flown by. This will be my last busy weekend for a while. I can't wait!! Since early October I've had so much to do every week and weekend. It's going to be nice to relax for a little bit.
I'm working on the script for the Powerhead Kids video. School today was pretty low key. So I'm extremely thankful for that!
My students are working on writing a perfect paragraph. One student's paragraph really struck me. She wrote about how she found out she was pregnant when she was already 26 weeks along. She could totally be on the show "I didn't know I was pregnant". She was hoping for an abortion, but it was too late. She explained how she cried for weeks, then her sister finally told her that she should be excited to have a child. The girl finally stopped crying and she had a baby girl this past June. She described how much she loves her baby and how her life is so different. Sadly, this is not the first story I have heard like this. One of my former students just had a baby this week. I remember when I knew she was pregnant before she would even deal with it. It's sad to think of children raising children. Every day this happens. Geez, I know some people in my life who should not have children at all. They are too immature, expect too much from their spouses, and are so obsessed with controlling their child they lose sight of themselves and damage their child in the process. So sad.
I'm always astounded how some of my students overcome so many disadvantages in life. It reminds me how life is so crazy and you never know where it is going to take you.
Today has been a good day and I hope it spills over to Friday.
