Today was the first day of school. Just two kids in school again. This was the first of their last. One year left. They are brave and good and kind. They are also a little nervous for the future. I don't blame them. I am nervous for them. It is an exciting and troubling time.
I began my first day of my eleventh year in second grade. I have NEVER been nervous before. This morning I woke up with nausea. I just wanted to throw up. It got worse until I got to school and saw that none of those twenty-five students were scary or mean. I could handle them. They were actually cute and have a funny sense of humor. I think I'll like them.
