School has finally started again at OHS, but things are not quite the same. Before school started, students had the option to either go to school and wear masks all day or to stay home and do online school. All Olney High School students started school on Aug. 24.

Every time I turn on the television or surf the internet, I see civil unrest sprouting up not only throughout the U.S., but also throughout the world. In my attempt to maintain a balanced point of view, I watch multiple news programs and I listen to a variety of political pundits present arguments for and against liberals and conservatives, the right and the left, the poor and the rich, male and female, white and black; It’s a never-ending masquerade of allegiance to a country that is divided.
With my birthday recently just passed it got me thinking about and remembering past birthdays. When I was just a young’un, I can remember some pretty spectacular parties. One of my favorite birthdays was my Tigger theme party. I was absolutely bonkers for Tigger when I was really young. I even have a Tigger tattoo on my ankle. No judgment please! Ha Ha! I have a photo somewhere from an album I scanned a while back. I was wearing a Tigger mask, Tigger costume, the cake had Tigger, the tablecloth had Tigger, I think you get the point.
The beginning of the new school year represents many different things. A fresh slate from the previous year in academics, a new year for sports and a chance to meet new people and set new goals for yourself. But for me, it also reminds me that a new group of foreign exchange students have come to America!
