![]() ![]() Other comments that get me salty with a vengeance (in my own non-confrontational way) is how boring they find it. I’ve overheard people who don’t know a thing about the state making claims about bad driving or bad attitudes (you are in an immensely congested area 50/50 between New York City and Boston, so spirited sass and colorful drivers shouldn’t be a surprise, and it’s hardly monopolized by the Nutmeg/Constitution State). In short, like many Northeast areas, there are strong feelings about the weather, a deeply personal relationship with each season, and a motley of “ideas about people”. However, she has never gone less than four years in-between albums, so this 13 reference will stick around for quite some time. Since she has been using ages in songs since her first album, it is likely she will mention more on subsequent albums. When it comes to Taylor Swift, there are hardly any coincidences. Some songs peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.Ĭould that fact that Taylor Swift mentions 13 different ages in her music be a coincidence? It could, but it seems unlikely. The number 13 is also connected to her music. She was born on December 13 and turned 13 on Friday the 13. If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you probably already know what that means. If you've been paying attention to the numbers before the ages, you'll notice that this is the 13th age mentioned in a Taylor Swift song. I could have combined 7 and 9, and 87 and 89 since they're so close together, but I wanted to make a point. I didn't who I was supposed to be at fifteen." I've found time can heal most anything, and you just might find who you're supposed to be. "When you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall. ![]() But in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team. "When you're fifteen and your first kiss makes your head spin 'round. This is life before you know who you're gonna be. And when you're fifteen, feeling like there's nothing to figure out. "'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them. Since it's the name of the song, 15 is mentioned multiple times. She even mentions the name of her real life best friend at the time, who she is still friends with now. She talks about friendship, love, and dreams. This song is also on Swift's Fearless album. You don't have to look hard to find this one. Your favorite teacher made that evident to you. Great teachers think non-stop about their students. Maybe this teacher ignited something new in you because of the way they taught it. Maybe this teacher wrote you a note one day with something so ridiculously simple in retrospect that it means the world to you to this day. Even more personally, maybe this first teacher gave you a gift you remember-and still have. They visibly took their time to make everything work for you and for the other students. They didn’t just print off a worksheet of grammar issues or math problems and expected you do it. Your favorite teacher was thoughtful in the way that they taught and interacted with you and everyone else around you. Otherwise, they wouldn’t stand up well to the name of teacher. And, when you think of your favorite teacher, you know that they taught you something. How are you going to learn from someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about? Teachers are some of the smartest people I have ever met. ![]() They don’t show you because they love and are passionate about their lifestyle: teaching students how to be excellent people through their favorite subject. The great teachers still get excited about work they don’t show you that their Monday morning has been terrible. Sometimes, that’s hard-when the sun isn’t up yet, it’s Monday, you know you forgot to get coffee started, you’re out of gas and don’t have enough money to buy gas because your credit card limit is getting closer and closer, your lesson plans aren’t ready, and you just want five minutes of rest. Teachers should wake up every morning happy. And we all so desperately need the future to be made up of people who aren’t afraid to care. If you don’t show students you care, they are not going to care. To me, this is the cornerstone of great teaching. ![]() This teacher did their best to try to support you-academically and personally. This teacher not only asked how you are, but asked and wanted to hear the answer. You may have been in a class of 33 other students, but you still felt like an individual. ![]()
