Week 15 was definitely the last week before spring break for me... Mike and I were traveling to Orlando the following week and we were so pumped up about the trip that it was hard to focus... However, I still had enough focus and time to meet with one of my students. We went to Moe's and enjoyed some chips and queso together, chatting about "the weather" and other random junk. One thing I found important that I was able to chat with this student about was his involvement in our student events. It had been a concern of mine for a while now that he did not like to attend or support the events that we did... From lack of attendance to sometimes even commenting on things he would be doing instead, it was a little frustrating that I did not know what was going on. I did come to find out that it was just a transitional phase and that he was feeling left out based on his age and maturity. I encouraged him to focus on hanging out with the older students and focus on spending time doing events they would be doing. I feel bad for him, but unless he invites his friends or chooses to fit in, he takes part of the blame. Hopefully our conversation ended well and he went home with a slightly better perspective... We'll see....
