It was a special day yesterday when my son Owen and some of his TIS alumni friends returned for the holiday break to Tashkent to play against our current boys varsity basketball team. It felt like old times watching him play in the TIS gymnasium. He missed his senior year basketball season because of COVID. Owen plays a lot of basketball at NMU and it showed. The alumni won 63 – 51 and both teams played well. Boys take longer to mature and there is a big difference between men in their early 20s and teenagers.
Due to Christmas falling on a Wednesday this year, we decided to hold classes until Friday, December 20, which is much later than usual. We all pushed through, but definitely it was a long haul since Fall Break and we are all grateful that we are now on holiday for the next three weeks! It is always a hectic finish near the end of the calendar year at school for administrators. I am looking forward to the break to recharge my batteries and spend time with my family and friends.
