Back to School

It’s the evening before he starts 7th grade, clothes are set out for tomorrow, there’s bacon and eggs waiting to be prepared for breakfast and remarkably all his required school supplies along with his Chromebook and charger and water bottle found a space in his backpack

And these are my wishes for him:

Please make this a good year for him, may he reconnect with his buddies from last year and make new friends. May his teachers be patient with him until they get to know him well enough to appreciate his unique sense of humor. May he be the one that calls out the bully and stands up when he sees someone not treated with kindness.

May he always have a sharpened pencil, a slim black sharpie that works, and a fully charged Chromebook. May he find wonder in his science class, enjoy learning about the way the world was in his World Geography and Ancient History class, catch on quickly in his Math class and pay attention in his Language Arts class.

May he enjoy being a member of the conservation and tech clubs, his after school activities.

May he always do his homework and never be hesitant about asking questions. Sometimes even the hard ones…

And may he always know that he is loved unconditionally by an enormous village that are always rooting for him to succeed.

Love you to the moon and back bud…
