Mark whistled while he walked the dog, the morning air invigorating him. The leaves were starting to turn, adding a touch of color to the scenery. The whole world seemed to be a pretty place. He could not wait for his daughter, Olivia, to start her new school.

He had promised to walk Olivia to her class, so as they strolled, he looked at the board listing all the class assignments. His eyes landed on the name "Ms. Peterson." His heart skipped a beat. Ms. Peterson was his favorite teacher, the one who had encouraged him to write.

"Olivia, you have Ms. Peterson!" he declared, his voice filled with a playful energy. His daughter's smile grew wider. He knew she would enjoy the class.
