Happy New Year 2010!
Did you know that this is NOT the start of a new decade? The first decade of
the 21st century ends on December 31st of THIS year! Remember, when Jesus was
born, he was ZERO years old, but on the calendar, it was the year ONE. So,
the first decade wasn't done until the end of the year TEN. Similarly, this
decade is not finished until the end of the year 2010. So, if you already
celebrated the end of the decade, you'll get to do it for REAL at the end of
THIS year!
Cool, huh? In the meantime, keep up on your homework... the trimester is
half over with on January 22nd. Let me know what I can do to help you pursue
the terrific grades that are your goal. (If that is NOT your goal, maybe this
is the right time for a New Year's resolution! Remember, you CAN do it!!)
Reach for the stars! I have faith in you.
