Topic List for Writing

Making lists keeps my life in order. Today, I present a list of topics that have crossed my mind more than once in the last several years (not just this month of blogging for the Slice of Life Challenge). I thought I would share the list as my post for today as some might need a little idea boost to finish out the month. I am saving it for when I am void of topics on which to write.  You see, I have already decided that this blogging experience must continue for me past this month’s challenge!  They are all topics pertinent to my own life experience, but I know we would all have our own take on each subject. So, here you go……

• Living with perfectionism
• Open enrollment
• Having  exceptional child(ren) – the world of GATE
• Who is valedictorian?  (I had one, I can talk about this.)
• Finding your passion
• Misplaced priority put on high school sports
• Should we get rid of grades?
• Did your school get rid of zeros?
• Allowing your kids to find their passion
• Is it worth it to express your concern regarding academic issues at your child’s school?
• The importance of music
• The beauty of math
• Pregnancy loss
