My First Day (#256)

Today was my 20th “first day of school”. Hard to believe it very well may be my last. From getting dropped off at the bus in the morning to a full-time graduate student course load, this year is special to me.

I have A LOT of gratitude for every single one of my teachers and professors from over the years. My mother is a teacher so from an early age I understood the care and energy that goes into working with students. Whether or not the teacher may have been the most effective, I’m grateful. For each one worked hard and gave their time because they believe in the power of education. Here’s to all the first days of school.

My family
Backyard sports
FaceTimes before bed
Learning new things

Time for photography
My introvert time
Crimson memories
Summers working at camp
Carpools with Carley
Time at the gym
The feeling of crossing things off my to-do list
My supervisor, Adam
The vibrant sunset
Weekend bike rides
Saturday morning premier league
What hard work brings
Doing things together
Walking to the beach
A little competition
Honest communication
Speaking at commencement
My mentors and role models
Cheap textbooks
The here and now
