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. Blessings<>< Margie
