When school restarts, the people around us sometimes seem different. It is hard to reconcile the person and their actions today with the person you knew just a short while back at the end of the last school year. And sometimes, we are the changed person, and it can be hard for other people to believe.

After watching the Harry Potter series of movies, one of the most fun things to do is to go back and watch the first one. You see a clumsy boy who is uncertain of who he is or who he will become. If you just saw the first and last movies, it would be hard to believe that this Harry would ever become the confident and bold Harry of the final movie.

Like Harry Potter, or maybe like your peers at school, Saul was transformed. And the people around him had a hard time believing who he had become.

Do you think you have changed this summer? What experiences or relationships changed you?
