"Happy New Year! and welcome back to school." 2015 has arrived. The new year was welcomed throughout the world. Many cities celebrated as the clock struck midnight in their respective time zones. Some lit up the sky with artful works of fire which exploded in a spectacle of color, light, and sound.
This was shared through different means of communication: Television, Social Media, friends and family who shared their plans of celebrating with joy and hope the arrival of the new year. 2015 began in those first seconds, which then gave way to the first day of the first month, of a new year.
But now it is time to go, and return back to school, and continue working were students and teachers left off. The winter break is over, soon spring will come, and before summer, students should be prepared to become promoted to advance further in their education. Students can achieve this with the help of those who support them: fellow students, parents, administrators, and their teachers.
The responsibility, then, falls upon the shoulders of teachers, to get students prepared, to get students ready to finish what remains of the school year, and to inspire them to pursue further study through higher learning. It is not the teacher, however, who must bare the whole weight of the full responsibility for learning and studying, for each one who is an educator bares some of that weight too, but with cooperation, collaboration, and a united effort, this can be achieved.
It is time to remind students that though it may be a new year, their education time frame is not new, but rather on a continuous point, which began back on the first day of school.
