Christmas and New Year have come and gone. How’s you’re New Year going so far? Ours is going fairly well, as we get back into the groove of activities and obligations that were put on hold for the holiday season.
There are some big plans going forward, many of which I can’t talk about yet, so check back often for updates. One of the big ones is my son’s final semester of high school. As you’ve read about here before, he’s a senior this year. He’s gotten through his college acceptance period and is now weighing his options. He started school again last week and is determined to keep his grades up and finish strong – there are no signs of Senioritis with this kid.
It’s been a long time since I was a high school senior, but I do remember the last semester being a good one, and a somewhat daunting one. It includes all the fun end-of-the-year and end-of-school activities like senior parties, graduation parties, prom, and more. He’ll participate in his last high school theater production. He’ll make two of the biggest decisions of his life – what college to go to and what field of study to pursue as a career, and some decisions related to those decisions.
Before we all know it, graduation will be upon us. We will sit on the bleachers of the school football stadium and watch as he and his classmates cross the field in their black caps and gowns. We’ll celebrate with fun and rewards. Then we’ll face the reality that he may be leaving the nest only a couple short months later.
