Fledgling Boy

My kid just walked out the door to his very first day of high school. My baby is growing up, whether I want him to or no. I'm not sad or morose or melancholic. Nostalgic, maybe? Hopeful? I'm feeling some kind of way, at any rate.

I hope it's a good day for him, because high school is a crucible and the students can be dickweasels and douchecanoes.

HIGH SCHOOL! That's wild. I hope it's a great experience for him!

Time will tell! So far, he seems to be doing really well in French, of all things. I say that because he struggles enough in English, and he's had problems learning French in the years up to this point.

His teacher is happy with his progress, and he's well on his way to achieving his goal of getting his French credit. That's all he wants and I couldn't be prouder.

Sometimes it's just the right teacher, or the right approach, and it all somehow clicks! I'm so glad he's making progress towards a desired goal, and such a great one.
