Have patience with all things.  But, first of all with yourself. ~St. Francis de Sales

A lot of us will begin a new school year tomorrow or later this week.  The first days of a new year can be stressful and full of uncertainties.  As I know I do every year, you too, may find yourself questioning if you even belong in the classes you are in.  Some of your classmates may seem smarter, more articulate, or better than you are, but do not think any less of yourself!  Remember that as we struggle through the first week of school, so too, are those around us.  Be patient with them.  Most of all, be patient with yourself.  When you allow yourself to be patient with YOU, you will have grace enough to be patient to those around you.  In the whirlwind that is the first week of school, remember to take time to find peace.  Be patient!  Let your heart and mind settle in to the new year.  Give it time to bring new and amazing things!
