accomplished many of my goals, I'm still left to wonder where the time went. In an instant a year can pass us by. I hear parents say all the time, "I blinked and my child grew up." As we bring our Bar and Bat Mitzvah students to the ECC to celebrate, the teachers have a hard time believing that eleven or twelve years have passed from when these young adults were preschoolers themselves. We often wonder, where did the time go?
