My eldest nephew turned fifteen today. Wow! Where did the time go. As if that is not enough, my eldest niece is turning eighteen this year, graduating from high school, and going to college in the fall, quite likely to my alma mater. You know that you are getting old when children that you saw come into the world are about to go to college, especially when you have been out of college for ten years yourself.

I first realized that kids saw me as old when I served as a counselor for SDSUs Educational Opportunity Program four summers ago. I supervised eighteen year old students 24/7, and they thought that I was old once they learned my age. Even the other counselors thought I was old, seeing how I was older than all but maybe one of them.

I already had a few gray hairs, but now I am counting a few more. When I say that, my younger sister just says, “I have a gray streak!” So, I guess I am okay for now.
