Each year at this time, I want to find a Peter Pan costume and sing his song "I won't grow up, I don't wanna go to school...." But once I get into class that first time, I am fine. It is a bit of stage fright. I am always remembering that what happens in classes can change people's lives. It's a lot of responsibility to have on our shoulders.
But here we go, off on another year's adventure in learning and life. I guess I will only hum Peter's song in the morning as I am getting ready to face the beginning of another academic year. You'd think, that after all these years, I would be used to it. This will be the beginning of my 38th year of teaching photo in higher ed and the my 19th year at NKU.
I spent my summer working on art, visiting with great friends in photo and former students, learning new software, and being a construction worker in our yard.
See you all and let's see if we can make this a great year.
