Sophia is definitely planning on going to high school next year and I can't believe how excited I am getting for her. Going to school for the sheer purpose of experiencing something you have never experienced is so unique and I find myself getting caught up in her excitement.
Having spent her life playing and doing as she pleases, she feels pretty confident going to high school in all areas except math. We are spending some time going over basic math right now and it is amazing how quickly an older student picks up concepts. I can teach her something simple and move on. She is motivated to learn and encourages me to provide more work for her than I am giving.
I am really proud of her. She has always been a person that needs to experience life. What I love about her and truly admire is that she not only makes those experiences happen for herself, but she does so with such confidence. What I also love is she truly doesn't realize what a special gift she has within herself.
Friends and family often ask if I am nervous about her going to school. I am really not. She has the luxury of knowing that this adventure is her own. She can do with it as she pleases and we will support her. She may find that school was an experience that she needed in your life for a short period and then return home or she may find that school is exactly what is missing in her life. Either way, it will be an adventure - something that this awesome girl loves to get plenty of in her life!
