"Seesaw of life..."

Good evening!

I am hopeful that everyone had a great spring break and you were able to get out and do something for you, with your family or just be able to get away. Some may think that it feels weird or we should feel guilty for not always doing something school related but know that it is perfectly fine to step away for a bit when you can! Some are wrapped up with events that go on through break as well which is great because you are doing them because you love them. Never feel guilty for enjoying time for you or others!

Life is a constant rollercoaster or seesaw it seems. When things are going good, you usually see the bottom come at some point. If you are balanced, your mind is wondering which way this could go because it seems a little "too quite" around here (we feel that at school some days with our students ha/jk). The thing is life isn't always going to be a "on top of the world" moment for us. We will have to take the blows of life and continuing to catch ourselves as gravity brings us down. It is up to us though to catch, push up and get back to the top.

It may take a few times to accomplish it but never give up. Know you have someone on the other side who is there to support you and balance life as much as they can. As we move into the fourth quarter, let's remember to give it our all and not be satisfied with what we have done in the path. We have done AMAZING things this year but don't rest on those laurels. Continue to push and exceed those goals you have set for yourself. Keep rising to the top, preparing for a little drop and continuing to work hard to balance if out just right. I know you can do!

Have a great rest of your Monday and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Quote of the week to reflect on:

"Life is your seesaw. You may not stay balanced long, but you can aim for a high after every low."

Sanita Belgrave

Sincerely,

Tucker Tejkl
