1. Your gym teacher is the most feared person on the planet. It may seem that way, but 20 years from now you’ll telling stories about him or her and having a good laugh.
2. Writing “stay sweet” or “don’t ever change” in someone’s yearbook is an original idea. This is pretty much everybody’s default when they don’t know what to write.
3. Life without recess is a miserable, dark existence. Not gonna lie, you’ll miss it, but you’ll get used to it and you do get to stretch in between classes, so at least there’s that.
4. Middle school is a breeding ground for the meanest teachers. Not so, and hey, the cool thing is, if you don’t like one teacher, you only have to spend an hour with them and then you get to move onto another!
5. You are the only person who every got lost trying to find one of your classes. Nope, we’ve ALL done it. Any awkwardness you go through in your first couple weeks…EVERYONE has gone through.
All you guys are awesome! Thank-you for reminding all of us this morning how awesome He is and how He took all our sins on His shoulders and how absolutely humble it makes one feel. So humble and small it makes me want to reach up and climb in His lap and forget about all this man-made garbage going on around us.
sincerely,
sharon
