There's something about the first day of school that makes the future feel close.

Last week, watching my son head into a new school year, I was reminded how quickly milestones arrive. One backpack, one nervous smile, one photo on the front steps, and suddenly you're thinking not just about today, but about the years ahead.

Moments like these can be a meaningful reminder to pause and think intentionally about what matters most: the people we care for, the goals we're working toward, and the future we hope to help shape for our families.

Wishing every student, parent, teacher, and family a thoughtful start to the school year.
