Change

Today as I sat the third grade classroom, after having received some news about my cohort for next year, I realized that I do not like CHANGE!

When I pulled out my phone to use the timer on it to time so students on their times tables I saw that I had a message from Lindsay in my cohort. She told me that we needed to sign up for a different cohort. I was instantly upset. I didn't want to change! I love my cohort. We have grown really close this year--we spend everyday together plus a lot of time out of class. We were already so sad because we were losing some of the girls in our cohort because they were accepted for the internship. Now because our cohort is going to be "dissolved" we are scattered among three other cohorts. As I've thought about this today, I started to realize how much is changing. I'm changing wards and apartment complexes for the first time in three years. That is a huge change, and I 'm really nervous about it. I'm graduating in a year and that is going to bring changes... one of which is that I just won't be a student anymore. I'm not sure what to think about that. I've always had this plan that I was going to graduate from high school and go to college. Now I'm almost to the "after college" stage. SCARY!

I guess change is good, because it keeps our lives moving and keeps me on my toes. But I still have decided that change does not go on my top 10 favorite things list.
