CHANGE: SCARY OR EXCITING?

Have you ever felt scared and excited at the same time? Feeling two such strong emotions at the same time can be confusing. But let's look a little more closely at what these emotions mean.

First Day of School

Remember when you were a little kid and it was the first day of school? Perhaps you walked to school, or got a ride, took the bus or rode your bicycle. How did you feel on this important day? You may have been scared and not at all excited. (Think: When do I eat my lunch? Where is the bathroom? What if my teacher is mean?) Or, you might have been excited and not scared at all. (Think: I can wear my new school clothes. I'll see my friends from the neighborhood. I am really grown up now!)
