Excitement Grows
Today was the first day of students and parents coming in to school for registration and orientation. Summer in my job is slow. No students. Once in a while I see some and talk to others. But it's not the day in and day out kind of contact that makes my job exciting, fun, and worthwhile.

I noticed today that there is a lot of energy when things start picking up. It is what I do my job for. To see the new students coming in, to wonder what the year will be like, to know that this year will be unique- nothing like any that have gone before- fills me with anticipation and a sense of joy.

You can keep your endless paperwork. You can keep your computer reports.

Give me a school full of students that I can visit with, talk to, help when needed. That's what it's all about.

And it's still two weeks until school officially starts!
