It's Now or Never!

So it's Saturday, March 10 and I'm at school waiting for the 31 students to show up for states. Phew, what a ride it's been! I feel rested this morning and I'm assuming that the day will go well. Adrenaline kicks in and even when your body should be rebelling about the schedule you're trying to keep (when you're old like me!) I get pumped by the enthusiasm from the 600+ kids at the conference.

Things I'll be noticing today but rarely talk about? Young people, slews of them, having fun. Meeting new people and gaining new experiences that will remain with them for a lifetime. I remember back in my high school years having those experiences that never fade away. The people will leave you, but the memories never will. This I promise. And no I don't think I'm any great Saint for being the BPA advisor. Anyone could do it. But you all provide many memories and make me learn more about "people" every day. Even as you will all leave and continue on the rest of your lives, you've all enriched mine in ways which cannot be measured. This is why I chose to be the advisor for our chapter - it's purely selfish, I assure you. This is why I'll be up until 2 a.m. this weekend. This is why I'll give you a nasty look or roll my eyes at you if you tell me you don't have your style manual or a number two pencil. :)

Be safe, be good, have fun.

Always,
Mrs. Sylvia
