For thousands of people, September not January, begins new experiences and opportunities, a new life style, new attitudes and opinions as people become students and attend school.
Young children start with Kindergarten. Kinder is German for children and garten, which is often mispronounced as garden means garden or enclosure.
Many years after school or college graduation, personally or by a family member or a friend, numerous people are still tuned to the start of school.
Important to keep in mind when starting school or any new experience, whether for the first time or the manyith time is to enter with optimism, and confidence, avoiding taking any preconceived prejudices with you.
September is the 9th month, in Asian countries, 9 is considered an especially important lucky number because it is the highest single number.
The word September comes from the Latin word "sept" as it was originally the 7th month. Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome, inserted his name and that of his son's, Augustus into the middle of the calendar, thus changing it from ten to twelve months.
Americans refer to this season as ~ Fall, a term that I have never liked, much preferring the lovely word ~ Autumn.
In 1798, Samuel
Johnson Jr. compiled the first American dictionary. Although born and raised in England, he had
become resentful of many aspects of life there, so he moved to America. He felt that a country that had broken away
from England should have its own dictionary.
He changed the spelling and pronunciation of many words as well as gave
new meanings to words, such as replacing the word ~ Autumn ~ with the word ~
Fall.
September is a special month,
I take advantage of all it has to offer.
