Back to School Same as Every Year

Even though parents have been looking forward to the first day of school all summer long, it can still be a tough day to get through. Especially if you`ve got three kids to wake up and get dressed, and drive to three different school. That`s the story for the Hall family. By 7:00 AM, Darren, Chris, and Marc, Junior are dressed and sitting down at the table for breakfast. Mom is checking their backpacks for school supplies, when Michelle Hall realizes that her six-year old Marc, Junior ventured into making his own lunch. Pretty soon, the whole family is out the door and in the car. "That`s a really good bonding time because I work so much. I want to make sure we`re able to bond," says Marc Hall, Senior. In the car, Michelle goes over the route, when she realizes they forgot Chris` saxophone. "You`ve gotta have a saxophone. After we drop off M.J. we`ll come back to the house and grabe the saxophone and then take him to Forrest Heights. Ok.," Michelle said. Eighth-grader Chris admits he is a little nervous, "Cause this is a new school and I`m gonna have to meet new friends and stuff...yeah I`m the big man on campus." Eventually, all three boys have been deposited at their different schools. And today, Michelle says, was a good day, then it all starts again, tomorrow morning.
