The beginning of the semester is always an exciting time for me. Every since I was a child, I loved the fall and all the promises a new school year held. As a teacher, I find this has not changed. As much as I enjoy my summer vacation, I find that by late August, I am always eager to head back to work. The fall holds new faces, new stories to be told, the baseball playoffs and World Series, the beginning of football season, Halloween, Thanksgiving and much needed breaks along the way. I love the cooling of the temperature, even if I am not a big fan of the shortening of the daylight. There are so many things to be celebrated in the fall, but I think the most important thing is that is brings with it the chance to begin again. More than New Year's Day, to me the first day of school gives the opportunity to take chances, do things differently, take alternate paths, and start on a new canvas. I hope the autumn and the new school year brings everyone else similar opportunities. Now... to decide what to dress up like in Halloween.
