Elementary school set the foundation. I was carefree reserved and eager to learn and I had teachers who nurtured that quiet fire inside. I wrote my first prize-winning poem inside a classroom at Holiday Elementary. I had no idea it would be the seed to cultivate my passion for writing but it did. In middle and high school I developed my hobbies singing dancing play- ing the clarinet and tennis. I built some of my closest friendships in the band at All-State Choir retreats dance practices and tennis matches. Although we didnt win often on the court my doubles partner and I still keep in touch. Fast forward to college and let me tell you being on my own really forced me to grow. I made some of my biggest accomplishments mistakes triumphs and funniest memories on the campus of Western Kentucky Uni- versity. I honed in on what I really wanted to do with my life and here I am now talking to the readers of Fort Campbell Families. I say all of this in hopes that we can embrace every level of education whether it seems exciting at the beginning or not. Without a doubt being in those classrooms crossing paths with different people and studying all those hours shaped me as a person and as a professional. Inside this issue we have a lot of back-to-school stories to get you and your family off to the right start. I hope everyone has a great school year that not only teaches you whats inside a textbook but teaches you a little more about yourself. In the words of my motherHave fun learning.
