Day 23: Last day of School! What have we learned?
Tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids. They are at the end of their finals and we will all be glad it's over. They did very well and I am proud of them. They have the summer off and lots of fun activities planned.
They take a test and close the chapter of all they have learned for a school year. I feel like I am tested all the time and do not always know how well I've fared. Taking the summer off would be fun again until the uncertainty of the new school year and a whole new routine. That was always a difficult transition for me.
I'm happy exactly where I am for today. School is not easy and there are not always a lot of options besides electives. The School of Life (Hard Knocks) has great life lessons with many choices and free will. My personal routine is gratifying right now and I enjoy continuous learning. I'll take that any day over school unless some day I want more and that will be an exciting choice. What do I want to be when I grow up?
