Thursday, September 13, 2007It's September - Happy New Year!
In August I always feel like an old year is ending and a new one is beginning. -
- I know we celebrate New Years in January, but to me September is the beginning of a new year. I think a lot of people feel the same way I do—students, educators and parents; we all start something new in September. There’s a certain amount of excitement in September that is missing in January. It’s a fresh start, new classes, new teachers, new students, new schools, a new season and new adventures.
-
- In January it’s just a continuation of our old schedules after a long break. We return to school wearing the same old winter clothes and going to the same old classes with the same old classmates. What’s new about that?
-
- But September is fresh; it’s like being given a blank page that needs to be filled with new experiences. Very exhilarating indeed!
