"To The 2018-19 School Year"
Yes.
I still get butterflies on the first day of school.
It is that unknown. What is not known.
That missing information that took form over the break of Summer.
About a classmate that was missed and out of contact.
About a teacher that lead and educated a classroom for a year.
Or maybe just half a year.
Or a sub that filled an emergency vacancy.
It is that unknown. What is not known.
Even when returning to a familiar environment.
Now perhaps a different color.
Now perhaps a little smaller.
The habitat in which a whole school existed.
The habitat in which students and teachers share a territory.
It is that unknown. What is not known.
Why we go to school to learn, to become educated.
Taking on an whole new school year.
Taking on every college & career assessment.
By studying.
By teaching.
It is that that will become known.
What will cease to be unknown.
