~:[CH8 - Day 241]:~ The Bridge to Somewhere

Sometimes we are traveling along and we don't really know where we are headed, but we know that it is somewhere. We don't know if the end result will be good or bad, but the process is what mattered. You worked to get where you were  headed even when you didn't know where you were going. However, somehow, you just knew that you were headed somewhere. Life is like that. You may even have a plan, but not always a destination. What do you want to do today? That thing you want to do today, may not be something that leads you to where you ultimately were aiming to be or did it? Who knows where the road we travel leads, but one day we will discover that somewhere we are headed. My students built their bridges not knowing how it would turn out, some failed miserably, others succeeded, but no matter what, they were making progress, they were working and they were thinking. Ultimately, some surprises popped up and reminded me today that we truly are all headed somewhere. As I wandered through the halls of the school with Izumi for one of the last times, I wondered where this encounter between us would take us. As we traveled this bridge for the past month or so, we've learned a lot and I know one day I will, along with my athletes, will discover where exactly we are headed. Life has a strange way of making you take detours in  your life, but just know that  you're headed somewhere, even if there is nothing in sight.
