Instilled in the school years of childhood, September always presents an opportunity for a new beginning. We may not replace our marble notebooks and looseleaf binders or open new boxes of pencils and crayons, but there is still a special “starting-over” in September.
And September’s weather offers the prospect of change. Not the change of Spring - with its blossoms - but the teasing contrast of the remnants of summer with the refreshing cool relief that forebodes the coming winter.
A new classroom. A new teacher. A new chance.
