I thought I should talk about the end. Yes, the end of an era. William graduated elementary school this week. He is officially a middle schooler now. How is that possible? People always say, "It goes so fast." Isn't it funny how sometimes it feels like the time is slowly ticking by while managing temper tantrums, doing homework, daily tasks, and just life. Other moments flash before me, and I am looking at my pre-teen and thinking, "How?"
I am so proud of him. I have to admit that I am really nervous about him going to middle school. Organization is not his strength. He is still very small for his age. I just want to protect him. On the other hand, he is really excited about band, sports, and having a locker.
Middle School is the turning point, I think. Having taught middle school, I know this is where kids make big decisions on what they will do, who they will follow, and how far they are willing to go to get friends. What will he choose?
My prayer today is that he will remember what we taught him, that he will be comfortable in his own skin, and that he will find the right path. He is growing up so fast.
