Those Middle School Lockers
Those Middle School Lockers...
As time goes on , I feel the
problems of the past seems to get smaller. Sure, I remember them, and
many still have a little sting, they remind me of those old middle
school lockers… Like for instance, do you remember when you left
elementary school and went to middle school ? I was amazed at how large
the building was, and those lockers were huge. When I left middle
school, and went to high school I came back to middle school to visit
my brother, and I could not believe how small everything was,
especially the lockers. After leaving high school, I often returned for
school functions for my younger brothers only to find the same thing,
that the lockers in that school were so small. Now, I have been the
same height since about 8th grade. ( Notice I did not say weight! ) If
its not me growing taller than what is it?
When we go through
life we are faced with many trials, troubles, overwhelming odds, as
some would call it. For me it was the new big school, all those
classes, and especially those lockers. These things seem so big, and
powerful for a time. When they pass, they seem to get smaller, and as
we look back, things that seemed so large were not really that big at
all.
One battle, and one victory, makes the next
battle seem a little easier to take. As we journey on, we are faced
with small ones , and some not so small. Sometimes they seem larger
than this earth itself. These are the ones that we have to stop and
think, someday this problem is going to look as small as those lockers
did the first time I went back to middle school. So, the next time we
are faced with overwhelming odds as some say, think of those lockers.
