School started here yesterday, August 5th. As I drove slowly through the school zones I thought about how much things had changed since I was going to school.
Labor Day signaled the end of summer and school started the Tuesday after Labor Day.
We were excited about wearing our new clothes, seeing our new classroom, meeting our new teacher and classmates.
Now even many of our public schools require students to wear uniforms and dress alike.
For a wide variety of reasons, more and more students are being home schooled.
Students are rolling backpacks and have laptops while we had pencils, 3 ring binders and books.
I am a member of that community that says, "I remember when..." I guess I will take advantage of my senior discount and enjoy a movie (smile).
Of course as always, I seem to be a contradiction because my movie of choice is...."American Wedding." I will happily join a crowd younger than me and laugh at the unorthadox silliness."
Enjoy your day. May you remember how things were
back in the day while you embrace the fun activities and beauty that you can choose from today.
