As we get older, we find that the extra time we need to do the personally rewarding things, that extra time starts to disappear. Even as 7th graders, sports, chores, tutoring, evening classes, homework, and weekend tournaments eat into that play time we used to have that may have evolved into drawing or writing for fun, listening to music, having time for a hobby. One of the great secrets of many writers, artists, musicians, and star athletes, is making time for those personal pursuits is a necessity, but it must be balanced out with all of the other daily pressures that we have. Finding this balance is what makes each of us a complete person.
In class, we read a short essay by Sarah Ruhl about her struggle to keep writing while taking care of three very young children. Her struggle is not unlike our own. We read this essay in class for LA7 this week.
