| A new "first day" with my pup! |
In a quiet Alaskan village, school started today. My kids found their way into new classrooms with new teachers or new groupings of students. While I will always call them my kids, they officially became someone else’s today. While some of them likely ran to school, others probably waited until the last minute to enter the doors. Ready or not, they found themselves at the start of a new year. As for me, for the first time in 20 years, I found myself without a classroom. Whether as a student or teacher, I have had a first day of school every year for all but 6 years of my life. Though some found this feeling after graduating high school or college, this is a new one for me.
