Beginnings.  They
represent excitement and perhaps a bit of doubt, for you know not exactly how
things will turn out.  Do you remember
the first day of school when all of your notebooks were new, not a word written
on them?  This moment is like that on this
new day in the school of your life.  Will
you dread all of the work that lies ahead of you or dream of the many ways you
will fill the blank pages of your notebook? 

Did you enjoy the first day of school or dread it?  A fitting metaphor for life.  You are grown up now.  Your abilities and knowledge have grown.  A blank page lies before you.  Perhaps it is time to get excited.
