Learning how to travel

Like everyone else, whenever I to drive I always figure out how long it is supposed to take to get there and then leave a little earlier than needed. While I was taught that “early is on time and on time is late,” I do it more to make the drive less stressful than anything else because I know SOMETHING I don’t expect will happen along the way.  I might not know what it is when I leave the house but I know I will encounter a traffic jam, road construction, a wrong turn, that old bat that doesn’t know how to drive or a multitude of other things along the way that could delay me.  By allotting that extra time on my drive, it makes it far easier for me to deal with the stress of those little delays and makes the entire trip more pleasant. 

You should find it no surprise I do the same thing on the floor at the school.  Lately, several parents seem concerned that their child is behind with their forms due to soccer, illness, vacations and other things.  Trust me, they are fine.  We do the same thing with out testing cycle I  do on a long trip.  While our testing cycle is 8 weeks long, with the number of instructors we have on the floor we really only need 6 weeks to get them ready to test.  But we plan, just like you do on a long drive, for life to get in the way.  So whether you are an adult or kid, just relax and get to class.  We will arrive at our destination on time just like we always do.  All you need to do is get to class and we can get anyone back on track no matter what the situation.
