Last night we were completing our school parent function trifecta. The sophomore parent meeting - not to be confused with the senior parent meeting or open house which was earlier this week. (Oh and I didn't mention the college meeting on Saturday) We psyched ourselves up to attend and were impressed at how easy parking was. As we walked in the counselors greeted us and said they wished we could be given a prize for being first. As we sat there alone in the auditorium, I at first commented that I hoped this didn't mean the turn out would be poor. It then dawned on me that perhaps, just perhaps, I had the time wrong. I went and talked to one of the very eager counselors and was told indeed we had shown up 40 minutes early! Open House was at 6:30 - this event was at 7 p.m. Ugh!
Woody Allen said that 80% of success is just showing up. If you show up too early does that make you MORE successful?
