Young enthusiasts of Mary Poppins.

‘Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she began to fly'. New beginnings are of a similar kind. They are always looked forward to with great excitement and cheer. Be it the start of a new session, a new ins�tu�on or a new job, every beginning has a different meaning for all of us, bringing with it change. For some of us, these beginnings are a reminder of what has been le� behind, while for others it's an opportunity to reinvent themselves. A new session is similar as students look forward to new classes, ac�vi�es and strive to put their best foot forward. Some might feel sad about leaving something special behind, some anxious about a new start while some of us might be excited about achieving something wonderful. Of course, it could be all of these things too. A�er all, however crooked, raw, beau�ful, exci�ng and fresh a new beginning may be, it does make a big difference in our lives.
