Who is your September song?

I mean who has been your summer love. Apart from this, have you got any special song for the month of September? It should be a mixture of feelings between summer memories and the new school year challenges ahead.

 

September is a turning point in our students' lives, but it is usually for the better. It will probably be more demanding, but more rewarding at the same time.
