It’s about that time, people. The long days of summer have come to an end. For some, this is dreadful, but for others it’s a nice get away. You know what I’m talking about. It’s back to school time.
Columbia public schools started their school year today. Let’s take a second to give a silent cheer for the parents who are ready for their kids to be out of the house all day. (Fantastic!) Let’s also give a silent cheer for parents who made it through the morning trying to get their kids ready for the day bright and early after they slept in all summer. (You’re awesome!) Lastly, let’s give a cheer aloud to the educators who get to spend the next 9 months leaving an everlasting impression of knowledge on young minds! (Woohoo!!)
Since we know this is a hard time for everyone, we’ve found some inspirational quotes to get you through your day. There’s nothing better than a little pick-me-up!
