It's the first day back to school for most kids. Some will be taking these vehicles to school. Others will walk and some will be even driven by their parents.
I was lucky that in elementary school, I only lived about a couple blocks from the school. Though now I'm a little sad that the building that I went to school for 7 years, is no longer a school. Luckily, the building was classified as heritage and still stands. So, I can visit the location whenever I'm in Victoria.
High school was much more than the basic subjects. I was also quite involved in the arts, both visual and performance. I found this photo of my high school choir when we were acting a bit silly after a competition. I don't remember how well we did, but I do remember all the friends that I made because of that program.
There was actually quite a bit of damage to the photo when I found and only recently have I acquired the skills to repair the image. This is also the image that I used as the basis for the coloured sketch from yesterday. See if you can pick me out, though it shouldn't be to hard. My profile image and yesterday's sketch are clues to finding me in the choir.
I am truly thankful for the skills that I gained through those art programs in the early years, since they helped me become an artist and the handy person that I am today. I hope that kids today won't have to lose such programs do to cutbacks to school funding and gain those valuable experiences that will help them later in life.
