The breeze felt cool and refreshing against her skin, causing her to shiver with delight. Sarah practically bounced down the street. Today, her son, David, was starting fifth grade.

The school buzzed with activity, and it felt so invigorating! She felt a tickle in her chest, a feeling of anticipation. She practically skipped down the hallway, her heart hammering with a happy rhythm.

Suddenly, she saw the teacher’s name, and a wave of memories flooded her mind: Ms. Jackson. Her fifth grade teacher. The same Ms. Jackson who inspired her to draw. A giggle escaped her lips. What a wonderful coincidence.
