First Day of School

I've found that sticking with one family, one subject, one focus eventually pays off in the end instead of running around trying to get everything and do everything. For the first day of school, I met the Cauchi family outside the elementary school where they were dropping off their daughter, Hannah, 6, for her first day at kindergarten. Being their oldest child, they said this was a pretty big deal for them...sending their oldest off to school for the first time. Despite seeing tons of other potentially interesting people and stories, I decided to 'just say no' and stick with the Cauchi family through the end. I'm glad I did.
