| A California Poppy Blooming During Spring (March) |
We take time to reflect on our educational achievements as we embark on to the last big
break of the year.
We can grow roots, develop stronger trunks, and reach out with our leaves and branches towards the clouds of information that are forming in the skies.
When I first heard the word "March!" I didn't stop to think. I reacted and then executed. My classmates and I had been preparing for the school's sports intramural season, and each classroom would parade, by marching one lap around the field, until all classrooms in the school would have a turn. At the end of the parade, once all classrooms had congregated, we would be dismissed to proceed towards our assigned athletic events.
This is what the month of March has come to represent to me in every single school year. One last chance to get organized and demonstrate what we as students are capable of doing. To take our individual educational potential and turn it into kinetic energy. It would serve as one last reminder that there was still some time to steal a march on education for the remaining of the school year.
As Students, Educators, Parents, and Administrators march towards the end of the school year, March should serve to us as those starting blocks that propel us towards end of year success.
