I feel old!

I got a high school graduation announcement from a former student today.  I've kept in close touch with the family all these years.  I taught him my 1st year teaching 13 years ago.  I feel so old.

Re: I feel old!

  • I first taught 15 years ago, and my kids were middle school - this is making me swoon - is it possible those "kids" are in their mid-late 20's now!?
    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.
  • Sounds like I'm old enough to be one of your kids lol! :-p

    I freaked at the beginning of this year realizing that my first 1st graders are 5th graders now. Next year, the first 1st graders I had at this school will be 5th graders. They're the first group I will have had 5 years in a row. I can't believe it!!!

    I also feel old knowing none of my students were born before the year 2000.

    I had a 5th grader ask me today if the book she was reading was historical fiction because it was set in 1980.  ouch.
  • I'm right there with you artslvr.  My first group of students were in fourth grade and they will be 26/27 now.  This really gets to me at times.

     Also, last night DH and I were walking around Annapolis and there were a lot of midshipmen out and many of them were plebes.  They looked barely old enough to shave.  I really felt old looking at them.
