Slice of Life | I get to


Last week, I read a post by Melanie Meehan on Just Write, Melanie. At a tender time in her life, she wrote of holding on to moments and how there is a difference between the words "have to" and "get to".

What a wonderful way to see and think!

I have to do the laundry.
I get to do the laundry.

I have to do report cards.
I get to do report cards.

I have to wash the dishes.
I get to do the dishes.

What do you get to do?

I have to _.
I get to _.

    It was a beautiful idea, wasn't it, Loralee? I 'get to' do my evaluations and celebrate all the wonderful work that students have done this year! Makes it better, doesn't it?
