The first day back is always a mixed bag of emotions. Parents are excited to get a kid-free home after a summer of vacations, late nights, and non-stop energy, but every parent will admit to feeling that bit of choking up when the time comes to drop off their children at the front doors of their new building. Meanwhile, the student, upset about having to do anything before 10:00 am, opens up the classroom doors where friends from three months ago are there and stories and adventures are exchanged and all is right with the world again. As much as schools are places for learning, the relationships made and molded inside the walls are almost equally important.
