Every September is like Christmas, and every student, a surprise gift to open. – Mary Bicouvaris

There is something wonderful about seeing the students come back each fall. It doesn't matter if you're teaching all ages or the same age. When they come in, it is a new beginning, a fresh start. It's a rebirth of the class for sure, but it is also a personal rebirth. You get to try it again, to be better at it. I get to do my favorite things all over again and do it fresh, with new faces in front of me. And new minds that are going to go "ah-ha." – Mark Mattson
