Dear Kid,

Happy first day of classes for the college year!

Today is a day full of possibilities. It’s the day when anything can happen. It’s a day still in all its cellophane and waiting to be unwrapped.

Today is the day when expectations are high. When no homework is late, no assignment unread. When you believe you will love all your classes (which I hope is true).

Today is the day when you meet new people in class. When you might be sitting next to someone who might turn out to be your new best friend. When you might change someone’s life. Or have someone change yours.

Today is the day to start your good habits for the semester. Writing down all assignments and completing them ahead of time. Studying daily. Reviewing material every day. Going the extra mile in everything.

Today is the day you’ve never been late for class. You’ve never skipped breakfast to get to class on time.

Mom note: Do not skip breakfast.

Happy first day, kiddo!

Love, Mom
