New Beginnings!

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's that time of year again--time for a new group of students! Even after teaching for 30+ years, I still feel that anticipation and excitement of a new year. In what other profession do you get to "start over" every year (sometimes more often)? On the other hand, there's always the anxiousness that says, "Will I be able to meet every student need? Will I teach them anything? What if they don't even like me?" Some things never change... After all these years, I've finally learned that it is most often the teacher who learns the most from the students. I wonder...what new learning will I experience this semester from this group of students?
