Here we are again at the beginning of a new school year, facing a grand mix of emotions all in a range from excitement to uncertainty! As I have been preparing my classroom and attending a variety of meetings and training sessions it all seemed a bit surreal until last Thursday - when students came to pick up schedules and visit for a few minutes. Some of my former students were even tagging along!
At that point, it all became real and I realized how much I love to be a teacher! It is such a privilege to get to know the people who come to sit in my class for 10 months. And it is so awesome to see these same people years later and check in with how they have changed along their life’s journey.
Needless to say, I am eagerly anticipating the start of the school year and all the wonderful things we will experience as we take our place in history. Who will our next president be? Will our troops’s work in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other distant places be finished this year? What surprises are in store for us all?
