A Little Arizona Sunshine

I'm pretty much a grandma when it comes to technology. While studying for my Global Business class, the topic of technology and its impact on globalization came up. My perception is that I'm not a tech-type person, but by definition I am. I bank on my phone. I repay student loans on my phone. I call my friends and family with my phone (and see their faces!). I aspire to have a career in photography on my phone (only on Instagram...). I shop on my phone. I check frequently that I don't have cancer or other life-threatening ailments on my phone (Thank you WebMD. You're a star.) I instant message on my phone. I go to college on my phone. I check the weather on my phone. I no longer use a watch to check the time. I navigate using my phone. I schedule important dates on my phone. I pay bills on my phone. (For my phone.) I book flights on my phone. I watch TV and movies on my phone. I check what time the sun will rise and set on my phone. I listen to music...

This morning I had the privilege to go back about 10 years and do something I haven't done since: A trip to view cadavers. This year I've been teaching Anatomy and Physiology at Weimar Academy. When I was asked to do so in October, my thoughts were, "WHAT? No. No way. I can't do that!" This morning as I watched 12 of my 13 students gathered around those tables and heard them answering the questions that Dr. Dias was asking, I realized that they had learned something! I will have taught 8 months of high school Biology and Anatomy and Physiology by the end of this month. Something I never thought I could do. Now I look back and think, "I did it one day at a time. One lesson at a time. One prayer at a time." You are capable of doing ANYTHING if you take it one step at a time. :)
