Down here in the Sunshine State, today is the first day of school.
Although my 'babies' are not part of this group any longer, I am seeing photo after photo being posted of the children of friends who are headed back to another year of learning.
As much as I admire and respect all you teachers out there, this is a most interesting day for all those kids . . . be it entering kindergarten or becoming a senior.
They will undoubtedly reconnect with old friends and enjoy stories of summer shenanigans.
They will also, however, meet hoards of new faces.
They will learn how to act and react, behave in new surroundings, and become a little more independent.
They will begin to learn new methods of behavior.
They will absorb and become overwhelmed with a cavalcade of calamity.
They will bring home homework for the parents and stories for the ages.
Enjoy it all.
Whether you are the child, the parent, or the teacher.
It is, beyond the First Day, . . . an opportunity.
To touch a life.
To mold a mind.
To make a difference.
No matter who you are!
Make it a great First Day!
