I had my cousins, Jacob and Joshua, come in town for a few days before they went back to school.
And, of course, the annual "Back to School" district convocation - it's basically a rally for all the teachers in the district to reward and recognize all of the accomplishments of the previous year to get us "pumped up" for the new year.
And, now one week down, and many more to go! A new year, a new group, and a new and refreshed attitude! Some say that it must be nice to have "3 months off every year." All I can say to that after a week back is, "You work with teenagers for 9 months - see the highs and the lows (which let me tell you are never higher and never lower when it comes to adolescence) and you tell me if I don't earn it year after year after year!
