Have you ever noticed the difference between people who have a difficult time with change and those who seem to relish it? I guess it all depends on the type of change. None of us like change that is the result of something tragic. But, there are many things that change our lives or things that we initiate that change our life. I think there are some of us who have adult ADD, while others are a little OCD. I don't want you to tell on anyone, but I would be more in the OCD camp while Kristi would be in the ADD category - generally speaking. I don't like changes when it comes to my routine and what I have become used to, but I do always look to make changes that I believe will help improve things. I am always looking at things that I need to do to make my house better or improve my job performance or improve the school, etc. But, I don't like change for change sake. I don't like to break what has become tradition. There is something in my core that gets troubled by changing traditions. Some people can just "roll with the changes", but others of us feel very uncomfortable inside. We are sure facing some changes for some of our high school staff. As you all know, enrollment in the high school is down, and we have to reduce teaching sections. Either you or one of your colleagues will be facing changes for the coming year. Some will adjust to the changes more easily than others.
