First Day of School

Education is what remains after one has forgotten 
what one has learned in school.  ~Albert Einstein
 

I think everyone should go to college and get a degree 
and then spend six months as a bartender 
and six months as a cabdriver.  Then they would 
really be educated.  ~Al McGuire





Learning is a treasure that will 
follow its owner everywhere.  
~Chinese Proverb



Don't you love New York in the fall? 
It makes me want to buy school supplies. 
I would send you a bouquet of 
 newly-sharpened pencils
if I knew your name and address.
-From the movie "You've Got Mail"



The first day of school, every year, was pretty awesome for me.  Even though I had perpetual butterflies that started the night before the first day, it was a time to renew old friendships, make new friends, have a new teacher, and be learning new things.  It was always a time that held great promise, you just knew that this year would be better than the last!  Hopefully, this brings back your own memories of those long ago first days of school -- with or without the butterflies!
