For students leaving behind the grades of prior semesters, becoming an A student feels like a possibility once again. Getting new school supplies is fun (at least for kids) and that new pencil box, markers, and notebooks gives the feeling of starting with a clean slate. A new window to the world is open and anything seems possible. Back-to-school can ignite these feelings in adults as well -- it's almost like a mini-new year! Parents think about how they'll be more involved in school, and perhaps church. Adult learners start new semesters and move a little closer to that degree or goal that they've long dreamed of. Older adults enjoy reliving memories as they watch children go through this rite of passage.
