I think it is human nature to see the January 1st as a time for a fresh start. That's why all the diet products and exercise equipment get on sale and promoted at that time of year. The whole New Year's Resolution - I'm gonna loose weight thing.
It occurs to me that this is another fantastic benefit of working for a school district.
Because, let's face it, sometimes those fresh starts don't take. The weight doesn't come off or the bad habits continue. So, for those of us in the school district world, there could be a fresh start in June, or in August as well.
Three chances in 12 months to make those positive lifestyle changes - awesome!
Or, sometimes you think 2014 was a hard year; so-and-so died, the dog ran away, the house burned down, my best friend had cancer - whew, glad all that is behind us and we can start 2015 fresh. But then your car gets stolen and your parent has a stroke and you say, "okay, maybe this is a tough school year but there's only a few more months until summer break".
