Spent the weekend with 2000 other families trying to make sure that our children's academic future is secure by ensuring they get into the best schools. Yes, they are growing up and the path we send them on today impacts tomorrow's decisions and opportunities. Well, we really did this because Paris is going into middle school next year and it is a tough decision on what to do for placement. Paris is a GT student destined for pre-AP classes, but we want to make sure that her experiences in school are not only beneficial but rewarding to her outlook of what the future has in store. So we stood in lines, sweet talked our way through some and name dropped our way to the front of the rest all to put our faces on the forefront of the decision makers. However, we will ultimately have to stand in line along with everybody else who will, camp out the night before just to get their application in first. Wow, the things we do for our kids.
While looking to make decisions on our little pre-teen, we realize that we should start now shaping the academic path for BJ and Jericho. We are looking to get them both in the new fine arts academy where BJ can add media production to his academic rigor and Jericho can take Suzuki Instruction on the strings. Train them in the way they should go is what I was always taught and we plan to follow that creed to the fullest. Wow, I guess I'm growing up also!
