Looking back on it, the school isn't what I had uh hoped and wanted it to be.
There are a lot of problems.
Um
But you're, you know, your new parent to school and you don't want to be that like hypervili vigilant helicopter parent.
So you're not sure what to complain about and what not to, but in the back of your mind you're like
This isn't right, this isn't healthy for the kids, that type of stuff.
So
First grade came around and she had a very hard time with summer school that year.
It's like a first grade warm up summer camp that's like three weeks long for a few hours in during the morning.
That was she'd cry and was very difficult and was nervous all the time and
I just thought she was being ridiculous, right?
And I didn't know better and then
The first half of first grade went well, and the second half, I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden something in her just switched and turned off.
And it was like this bright glimmer that had been in her eyes was gone.
And her eyes took this flat, dead look to them.
And that sounds like so melodramatic, but it's really true.
Even when I look back through pictures, the shape of her eyes are different.
It was just so much stress in this tiny body.
You know, looking back, I just sometimes I just want to cry.
I just think about what she had to be going through and pushing through each day to try to r make some benchmark of normalcy while she was in school.
