This weekend marks the annual Lincoln Marathon. This is a huge event where lots of people get out on the course and put their training to the test. The interesting parts of the marathon are the start—once you take the first step you are off! The other very important piece is the finish—you work very hard to cover twenty-six miles but unless you add the last couple of hundred yards it was all for naught! Our school year is like a marathon.

This is the time of year where learning finds another gear; we go into overdrive as this is the Dark Days. While the time is challenging because of cold weather and the fact that we begin and end each day in darkness, it is also a time when we hunker down and get the work done. Our students and staff are willing to spend a little extra time because outdoor activity becomes minimal. They get engaged and motivated by success in their classes.

We often get so caught up in the day-to-day challenges that we cannot get ourselves focused on the big picture. We often put off what is important to manage what is necessary. However, in gaining a clear focus on doing what is important, we will find ourselves coming much closer to our goals and we will accomplish our dreams.
