Day one - anticipation

Spending a few days prior to the new year setting up the classroom. Trying out a new configuration, getting rid of some stuff, reorganizing ... all in the job. I am not alone. The parking lot is filled with cars from 7am to 4pm, and everyone is coming in with bags of new supplies. I work with people who care, who are excited to be where we are, who take pride in presenting a wonderful environment and helping children become anything they wish.
