A new school year starts in just about one week! Eeeeeek!!! New school years are thrilling, but also terrifying. Teachers, although you may not realize it, have the same fears each year: What if my new class won't like me? What if they won't think I'm funny? What if I do something weird and they all laugh at me?
The point is that a new school year is hard on everyone, even those of us who are super excited and ready to go. So let's all go easy on each other - school is super fun, but it's also a little scary, especially after a beautiful summer of fun and friends and fewer responsibilities!
So three cheers for a new school year -- and four cheers for all the chocolate, coffee, video games, and junk food that will help us ALL make it through the first few weeks!
