School is starting again in our area.
When I was young (Elementary School) I hated for the summer to end and school to start.
And then in Junior High and High School, I started loving school. Is that the way it is with most people? I don't know.
And now, (I will soon be 75) every year when school starts--I find myself longing for days gone by.
My first day of school was horrible. I was so scared I had a sore throat. The teacher rubbed some kind of salve on my throat and told me I would be alright. I wasn't alright. I wanted to go home.
Lawton High School (Oklahoma) I loved it. Cameron Junior College (Lawton, Oklahoma) I loved it. Abilene Christian College (Texas) I loved. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. Fuller Seminary (Pasadena, CA.) I loved it. Pepperdine College (Los Angeles, now University in Malibu) I loved it.
Yes, school is hard work and there are many things not to like. But it is also fun and oh so necessary to becoming all you can be.
The class of 2009/2010 will be great! I pray!

I always loved school. I guess I'm the exception to the rule.
Good to "see" you!
Of course, I expect there is not a lot to comment on with the pantry posts. :)
I haven't been commenting much on anyone's blog this summer. That is what happens when you decide to plant a garden.
Clif,
I think your outline of just how adults view school is completely correct.
I think its because as we get older we find it hard to get to those places we used to with all our friends, or our friends have family vacations to go to, so we find ourselves being bored during summer.
There are just some friends we could only connect with whenever we were in school.
Taft Elementary (loved it) McFadden Intermediated (hated it, had to walk 7.5 miles each way to get there), Saddleback High School (hated it, I was the nerd and everyone wanted to copy from me)
Thanks for the memories.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Clif,
I have to say I didn't like school as I got older but it had to do with my self esteem issues and family life. Then when I went to college (oklahoma state university) I completely hated it because I didn't want to be away from home! I went to beauty college as a 30 yr old mother and loved it....guess it just takes some people longer to grow up LOL
Didn't like school, never will like school but enjoy learning new things now. The things I like to learn these days are things I am interested in, not the things others say are important to learn.
I always loved school! I would cry if my Mom told me I couldn't go to school when I was sick in the night and woke up with a fever.
I still love to see the school supplies when the stores first put them out and they are all straight and orderly. It was fun to buy Caleb's this year.
Good day !.
