Education – seventh grade – Complications of Jr. High

Adventure, Blind Spots, Growth and Change, Life Events, Overwhelm

This is Mr. Byron T Watts.

This time I’m gonna show you quickly the building as it is now this isn’t what it looked like when I was in school here but, this is where I attended the seventh grade of my educational upbringing and frankly, it was the worst year of my life as far as education goes.
This was a private school and this location was only here for a couple of years before it moved to the place where I eventually graduated.  But, the reason Continue reading Education – seventh grade – Complications of Jr. High →

Education – eighth grade – fear of hazing made me change schools in Jr. High

Growth and Change, Life Events

This is Byron Watts again and today, this time
I’m going by one of the places I attended school for one year.
There’s a little bit of a story behind this one.
It’s also condemned and vacant now. It’s one of those places
where I should have been in school for two years except,
I was so scared to death when I heard Continue reading Education – eighth grade – fear of hazing made me change schools in Jr. High →

Growth and Change, Life Events

Living on the right side of the tracks?

This is Byron Watts. One of the interesting experiences that I’ve had growing up and throughout my life is living on or near railroad tracks almost my entire life. I suppose, I wonder, am I living on the right side of the tracks or not?  This is one of those tracks that I spent a fair amount of time Continue reading Living on the right side of the tracks? →

Growth and Change, Inspiration, Life Events

Hola

This is Byron Watts and I’ve returned from my most recent International Adventure in Mexico … to snow. And I already miss the nice warm temperatures. Here I’m wearing a coat and gloves, at least on one of my hands right now.

I wanted to walk by one of the places where I took one of my big steps in my life. And it doesn’t look like much now, Continue reading Reflections on sixth grade →

International Adventure in Mexico #3

Adventure, International Adventure

This is Byron Watts. Sometimes we get to the top, to a plateau our life and we need to take a few steps down to a different level to get to another place. Perhaps we have an ocean, we need to cross, we need to go visit another place and to get there we need to adjust where we’re at. Now I’m taking a few steps down. It’s not the same place I was before, because [sorry] I’ve been on that plateau for a while and last time we talked from that new location. As you can see, I’m going down at this spot, taking some big steps that aren’t directly up, but they will be on the next plateau, when I get there.

Hear the roosters?

Maybe you’d like Continue reading International Adventure in Mexico #3 →
