A message from the Editor,Founder and President of csaccac Inc;

oops!!! you caught me,___not goofing off,no___,Im not goofing off;honestly,Ive got a lot of stuff to do like Im sure you probably have a lot stuff to do this month. As redundant as it might sound,I brought up the infamous to-do-list because I really do have a lot of stuff to do,especially,this month as the Back-to-School tradition continues in the month of September. Instead,you caught me starting a new chat weeks before Im scheduled to chat with fans,followers,friends,visitors,readers,consumers,shoppers,subscribers,and,members. Once again,it's that time of year for students,parents,teachers and faculty all across the U.S.A to get in gear for the Back to School season.People,Places,and Things;putatively speaking,in this case,it's more like Students,Teachers,and Stuff,bringing together in American tradition,two of my favorites things together actually a few of my favorites things(Fall and fashion,tech gadgets and apps,tweets and sms,homeroom and class schedules,seating charts and homework buddies,textbooks and class assignments,school lunches and cafeteria lines,quizzes and exams,BFF's and Besties,GPA's and yearbook pics )Back to School has arrived. If you happened to observe,it is August with a more than a couple days until September hits,Ive taken that into consideration. All ready to continue August's chat,Yes! I am unusually ahead of the scheduled date for September's chat. The main reason,actually,my excuse and dont like giving excuses,___anyway,this September I turn forty-two. Aside from my forty second Birthday,the month of September is also the month csaccac Inc holds its yearly fundraiser S-H-O-P-A-P-O-L-O-Z-Z-A, a Back to School event. Woops! before I get ahead of myself,I'd like to Welcome all the new visitors W-E-L-C-O-M-E. And in keeping with tradition,one I began as Editor,I'd like to Thank all of the returning visitors,as well as,all of the fans,followers,friends,readers,consumers,shoppers,subscribers and members for checking-in each month,Thank You,much Luv,twice the Luv. Now that Ive paid some dues as they say in show biz,Im going to continue the chat where I left off before the brief interlude. Straight to the point,I knew that I probably would be a bit distracted,__well,a lot distracted in the month of September without having to call a pyschic or look into a crystal ball,I chose to start the chat early in preparation for my 42nd Birthday and csaccac Inc yearly fundraiser,specifically,a Back to School event intended for parents,students and teachers active participation. With both dates highlighted on my calendar,I began to put together September's eNewsletter in mid-August. And in all honesty,it kinda worked out great because both months kick off the Back to School season. Admittedly,sometimes the hardest part is getting started,from attending a new school,to making new friends,to starting a new sport or club,to signing up with a Social Networking site,I learned this firsthand as a public school student and recently when I chose to publish my first book. While I search deep within each month to pen an Editor Note,as a matter of fact,each month,I set aside time to write an Editor Note. To be truthful,my thoughts dont always flow as smoothly as I would like them to flow. However;for the months of August and September,I felt pretty comfortable with writing the Editor's Note because the topic is one I know all to well,not surprisingly,Im quite familiar with the Back to School tradition__for the first eighteen years of my life,I participated in the Back to School tradition. Even so,afraid I might experience writer's block or become sooo...overwhelmed with everything,I began September's chat in August__as the cliche proclaims "there's no time like the present"

Truth or Dare? Fact or Fiction? Myth or Folklore? Fake or Real ? Nearly everyone who has ever attended a public school has a Back to School story waiting to be exposed. Typically,a big month for parents,students,teachers,and faculty,the Back to School tradition calls upon everyone to get involved,to do something and show their support for students and kids all across the United States. Seriously,Im hyped about the Back to School season,I know it is an important event,and an important time in students lives.Breaking away from the Back to School tradition,for a few minutes,to reflect on Summer 2013,__this summer ,I shared a lot of stuff in the csaccac eNewsletter,on Facebook,on Twitter,in my first book and in my personal blog "A Day and Life Of Consumer Affairs Consultant Sales an Service Manager." How much is too much ? And what to share and what not to share is always a concern placed at the top of my subconscious.Exposed to readers, some of my personal likes and dislikes,for instance,I dont like brags especially the mean and hurtful ones,or the fact I am the product of a public school education,or the fact I taught two years in the Florida public school system,or the fact that eventhough Im forty- something I prefer reading Seventeen mag,or even the fact I am a former Girl Scout along with a whole bunch of other stuff,I am now adding secrets,gossip,and rumors at least the mean and hurtful ones. Although,normally, the Back to School tradition is a great new beginning for a tantamount of students,for some students it is the beginning of dreadfulness,uncertainty,rebellion,social and culture identity crises and the Awkward years. Parents stumble upon it,teachers see it coming,and students really dont like to discuss it,labels,name calling,peer pressure, social status,in crowds and bullies. Certainly,I loved to think the world is perfect__but you and I know the truth, and neither are students perfect,in August I briefly chat about the various parts of the Back to School tradition,while in one sentence I aver that the Back to School tradition encompasses many things,at this time,I liked to include,another component of the Back to School tradition ___helping students to cope in all types of social situations. Forty something years later,whether if it is heedlessly, improvidently,or advertently,every now and then ,I see or read something that inspires,motivates,and uplifts me to reach beyond my circumstances. Throughout 2013,Ive been inspired and motivated by other Editors and their notes and messages to readers. Seemingly,in August,I felt compelled,inspired,and motivated by something else other an Editor Note,it just so happen to of been a young adult book written by author Kelli London. Right in the middle of thing about the Back to School season and tradition,I felt compelled to be uniquely me as I read the intro to Kelli London's book Charly's Epic Fiasco,a book I selected for the first half of the Fall,Back to School season. If youre thinking ,arent you already uniquely you,__it's true,yes,I am,__it's just after reading the intro to Charly's Epic Fiasco,I got a reminder of how important it is for students and moi include to be true to yourself and uniquely you.wow! I had no idea how Id get this Editor Note completed with so much to do,to complete,and to prepare beforemy forty second Birthday and csaccac yearly fundraiser SHOPAPOLOZZA,TBA. And somehow,I got some of the stuff scrunched up in my brain __out of my head, and on to paper,wow! Summer has ended,Fall is just getting into full swing,with a to-do-list that seemed almost impossible to complete__within these few short minutes,I feel compelled,and,motivated to look beyond my circumstances for the answers and help to fulfilling my personal goals. In the same manner students sometimes require a sounding board,a voice of reason,a lending ear,and a word of caution,I thinkall grownups could learn a thing or two from former a public school student,as the cliche states"all the world is a stage and you only get one dress rehearsal" __so, get dressed! Inside this month's eNewsletter youll find all of your favorites and the latest in Consumer Stuff. For now,Im signing off to tackle that to do list ,this concludes September's chat,and as always in keeping with tradition, Thanks for checking-in,until next month T2yuL.---cacjohnson
