The Return of Routine

As summer wanes, the vibrant chaos of children at play yields to a quieter scene. School gates, freshly painted, gleam under the autumn sun, signaling the end of freedom. Parents stroll by, exchanging hopeful glances as they anticipate the return to routine. A sense of renewal hangs in the air, promising structure and new beginnings after a leisurely break. The laughter of children echoes faintly, a reminder of joys past, as they prepare to step back into the world of lessons and friendship, embracing whatever this school year has in store.
