I love September. I love the concept of “Back to School.”
I loved it as a kid, running around collecting pencils and new folders, stressing over what I would wear on day one.
I loved it as a parent, seeing my kids grow and face new experiences, from new teachers to new subjects, to new sports and activities.
I loved the weather.
As a teacher, a new years meant an exciting new
beginning. New students, new classroom
adventures.
Today, I watch little grandkids get ready with their new backpacks and hair styles.
I watch big grandkids pack for college, excited for them,
but sad to see them go off to their new independent phase of life.
I still teach part time (at college now, where we no longer sharpen pencils, now part of the electronic world)! But the anticipation is still there. (I still contemplate what to wear on day one!)
I still love the weather, and the overall feeling of new
beginnings, and I hope I never lose that joy.
I’m highlighting a few stories here that feature “teacher
heroines”, who of course, I consider super heroes in our world.
How about you? What does “Back to School” mean to you, either today or in your memories?
I’d love to hear.
Love,
Christine
