What a week! I always like to watch the Senior nights. It always gives me an opportunity to reflect on what we do. Some students only participate in one extracurricular activity during their time in high school and Senior Night may be the last time they participate in their home venue. Many try to trick themselves into believing they will never have to say goodbye to the activity, the camaraderie, or even the difficult practices, but they do. Very few continue at a collegiate level and they know it. The feelings and emotions the kids feel are real and something they have never experienced before. For them, it is difficult to explain and only truly understood by others who have been in the same position. I am humbled by the hours and hours our students, coaches, and parents log during a season. The relationships and bonds that are built during a season of performance have the power to change lives. It is truly amazing! Have an extraordinary weekend. Go Pups! (cue Bon Jovi: It’s My Life)
