Back to School 📚
Embracing New Beginnings 🌟
Today is a special day for us as little Axel (🙄 no longer so little) steps into a new chapter of his life—his first day of 5th grade at a new school in New York! 🌎
After our recent move from France, we’re all adapting to new surroundings, routines, and neighbors, which brings a mix of excitement, curiosity, and a little bit of nervousness. 😐
As I watched Axel step onto the yellow school bus—a new experience for us —I couldn’t help but think at the incredible resilience and adaptability our children have.
As global humanitarians, we often have conversations about how heart-breaking it can be to uproot our kids from their tribes and have them readjust to a new one. Yet, seeing Axel navigate these changes with courage and grace reminds me that our children often lead the way, showing us that change, though daunting, is also a gateway to growth, new friendships, and unexpected adventures.
Here’s to new beginnings, to the courage to embrace the unknown, and to the opportunities that lie ahead when we step out of our comfort zones. Whether it’s a new school, a new job, or a new duty station, let’s approach it with an open heart and a mindset focused on the gifts these changes bring.
Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the school year, filled with learning, growth, and joy! 📚✨
