As I walked down the hallway this morning welcoming students to their first day of a new school year, I noticed a solemn second grade boy heading my way. "Hey Miss Mimi. I'm kinda nervous," he said. "That's okay, I think lots of people are nervous today because it's the very FIRST day and they're not used to it yet," I replied. " But it'll get better fast. You'll probably be totally happy by the end of the day!" "Yeah," he agreed, flashing his trademark grin. "And then I'll turn into a WILD CHILD!" Knowing this little mischievous boy as I do, I think he's right on the money, so to his teacher, I send my very best wishes!

Short-Term Shyness
