Every time I logged into Facebook over the past few days, my
newsfeeds have been plastered with back to school pictures of “smiley, happy
kids”……each time I see one of those pictures, I laugh…..you can search far and
wide and I guarantee you will never be able to find a back to school picture of
a “smiley, happy Amy” – until probably college! I HATED going to school. I
student taught where I went to grade school and the principal would often
remind me of how surprised she was that I was going to be a teacher since she
still had visions of me screaming down the hallway on the first day of
kindergarten….and the first day of first grade…..and…ummm….the first day of
second grade.
I was not a fan of school….now…if I could go to college for
free….I would take classes just for the fun of it….cause why???....I love
school! Back to school time is the most wonderful time of year!
I started to love going to school when I started taking
education courses.....
Classes resume Wednesday, at Mercyhurst! Within the next four
years, education majors will graduate and take what they learned into
classrooms of their own but before they leave, I hope many will become part of
the staff of Carpe Diem Academy and contribute their creativity, dedication,
knowledge, etc., just as the current staff does.
If it wasn’t for the amazing staff, Carpe Diem would not be running
as successfully as it is, today. 98% of the staff is returning this Fall and I
can’t wait to see all that they bring to academy, this year. They
motivate……they guide….they share….they dream….they create….they inspire…..they
are bold….they are strong….they are adventurous…….they are courageous….they are
energetic…….they are enthusiastic….they are proud…….they are leaders ……...they
are educators! The academy staff is DYNAMIC!
Here’s to the 2012-2013 school year! Here’s to smiley faces! Here’s to a successful year of Carpe Diem! Here’s to changing the world!
Carpe Diem!
