September starts

Today is a day of fresh starts for many.  Back-to-schoolers hop on the bus ready with excitement to begin a brand new school year.  I can still smell the new shoes my Mother bought me.  They were Mary-Jane’s with buckles and I just loved them.  September is symbolic of starts and new beginnings.  Take a moment out of your day to smile at a Teacher, a student, a bus driver or someone you know that is starting a brand new grade.

This is one of my favorite times of year, even if I no longer have to wake a child up for school or see them to the bus stop.  I wish every student a year full of learning and making new friends along the way.  The yellow school buses are out so slow down, wave hello and remember that September is a time of fresh starts.
