Middle School

The difference between being in middle school and teaching in middle school:

1. When falling up the stairs, like I did today, I don't fall nearly as graceful and the pain lasts a lot longer.

2. The kids walking by don't point, stare, and laugh. They do however gasp, rush to your side, and ask if you are ok.

I'm still limping around hours later, complaining of muscle aches, headaches, and laughing at my own clumsiness. But I am so very grateful that the humiliation doesn't last as long as it did when I was 13 and that I've finally learned to laugh at myself.

Hope you have a great day!
