Back 2 School Night

Last night was Andrew's back 2 school night. I was nervous for so many reasons. My baby, my first born is starting school on Monday. How could 5 years go by so fast? As I sat in the cafeteria and watched the key point for the introduction I felt almost like I was having flash backs from my Kindergarten days. And remembering how i was held back in 1st grade. I was horrified. I am determined to do everything in my power to make sure this does not happen to my child. I do not necessarily think it is the parents fault if a child is held back, just the way the child develops perhaps. But if I can spend that extra time reading, and teaching him things at home. Perhaps our odds will be higher.

Jr. High was amazing to me, and everything else after that was a disaster. All because of a church that my father dove head first into. I am saddened that I do not have these memories to look back on but at the same time I think that because of that, it allowed me the opportunity to be with Steven. In away he was my saving knight. In the middle of all the misery our relationship was growing.

As, a parent was always want better than what we had for our kids and it is mission to do just that. We go today so Andrew can meet his teacher, Mrs.Newman. she has been teaching for 13 years and she used to be a Vice Principal. She is the eldest of the 4 teachers, So I cannot be more pleased with her experience and what she can bring to the kids. Wish Andrew luck.
