Neglecting my Own Thoughts

As I posted a brief comment on a random blog I was reading about the latest Newbery book, I realized that the author could very easily trace my identity back to my own blog. So I decided to see what I last wrote about and found that it has been a very long time! Even my background is out of season. I totally missed a family wedding, Thanksgiving, another family wedding, Christmas, and New Years! Oh, and Valentines Day, too. I could have written so much on what I've thought about what I've read and how I've grown working with junior high students. Mostly I've learned a lot about myself as I've become a junior high librarian and want so much to help students develop a love of reading and thinking and living! This growth has taken me back to my days in junior high when my teachers inspired great dreams. I attended five different schools from seventh grade to ninth grade. Schools where I met new people, new teachers and had new experiences. Fortunately my parents allowed me the freedom to take in all of these new things and learn from them. I've also returned to high school memories when my life was really shaken up by changes. My life is very much what I dreamed it would be with the love of a family.
