Do you miss the magic of the good old days? I do. I think back fondly of my childhood while going to school, playing sports and hanging out with friends all while creating memories that I didn't realize I was creating. That's what life is all about -- living in the moment and taking every moment in and making the best of what you're offered.
I love this song by Macklemore and Kesha. The lyrics sum up what it feels like to think back on the good old days. My hope is to create a life for my kids so they can look back on the good old days with a smile. My goal as a teacher is to create a classroom that is impressionable and memorable for my students. I want them to look back on their time in my classroom with fondness. If I can have a positive effect on a few students a year, I've done my job as a teacher.
Just like the song states, I wish someone would have told me that these would be the good old days. If I knew back then, what I know now, I would have changed a few things. Not everything -- but a few things. I feel blessed and lucky to look back on the good old days and feel proud and happy. I've felt some pain and seen some things, but it helped shape who I am today. I miss the magic of the good old days, but I want to live in the moment and create more good old days, so it's time to live life to the fullest and enjoy the ride.
