I love this shot. Though it was more than ten years ago I remember the day well. It was the first day of first grade and I was beginning my second cycle as Class Teacher; I was wearing my favorite tie, and all my new charges and I were nervous and excited. B.Q. meets my eye and handshake confidently; F.T. gazes my way with interest, but leans back into the comfort of her mom. It’s such a privilege to do this work.
