The Relevance of Time
Four years is not a lifetime. Near the end of our illustrious escapade through adolescence we have discovered that this uncharted territory holds enough promise that we can achieve, but these four years are not the crucible in which we will build an education, a career, a life. Decisions will be made, but the rest of life can untie them quickly.
Four years passes, as they say, in something akin to the blink of an eye. One minute we are at the beginning, touting our freshman status, and the next time we turn around we are shouting at graduation. Such are many things in life, including marriage and parenting. We often wonder where the time has gone and how the pace of time has quickened with the passing years.
High school itself is but a brief interlude for most, and there are greater surprises on the horizon following. That is why we learn that the disappointments and despair of these years will soon pass, and why we are offered a world at graduation in which to grab for other brass rings. High school teaches us to keep moving. Time is always in pursuit.
