What's Your Struggle?

Summer break was nine full weeks. There was a beginning, a middle, and an end. Each three week section also had a beginning, middle, and end. This is the beginning of the last full week of the end of vacation. Imagine the following:

There's a mountain you must climb. It is a long, painful climb fueled with that visceral emotional feel of climbing up and up and up a roller coaster. When you reach the rocky pinnacle you make a plane as best you can, and you build a community as best you can up top, and then ten months later the community gets disbanded. You're shocked, though you knew it was coming. You climb down the mountain, and find yourself alone in the open air. You struggle to find your bearings and then it's time to start all over again. Then it ends and then it starts, again, again.

This is a struggle teachers face. I wonder, what's your struggle?
