My teacher in the Intro to Education and EdTech class gave us a task at the beginning of 2026 to select one word to represent the year.A word that would make a memorable impact on our year. Initially I believed that it would be easy but as I continued thinking of the assignment the more it demanded me to really look at the previous year and what I wanted to become of the next. Taking a reflection on last year and the year to come and in 2026, one word popped in my mind Embrace. The year 2026 will be full of a whole new chapter of life that I have never had to face and not worrying about the stress I want to take charge and enjoy the life fully where I am.
When I enter 2026 one of the biggest changes I will be faced with is the fact that this is the year I graduate high school.That alone makes this season of life so much heavier. The fact that the people and the school that have been the constant over the last 12 years will be a past memory in a few months.This word: Embrace makes me remember that I have to to slow down and absorb these last moments before they become memories.
My first year college will start in August and having the Embrace will help me to take a step into the change and not be afraid or anxious about it. This season will be filled with new habits, new people, and new demands and welcoming it will allow me to remain in the present instead of being overwhelmed with the activities happening around me. I want to embrace every challenge and hurdle that will be coming my way in 2026.
This class assignment has helped me look back at my past and also make goals for my next year. The decision to make embrace my 2026 word is my reminder to be present and open to this new season of life. I cannot control everything but I will be able to control my reaction and response through making the choice to trust and embrace this new season.
