On yesterday, Monday, August 25, 2008 my school year began. My daughter is a senior and my son is in the 5th grade. My daughter drove to school and my wife and I carried my son to school.
I had a flashback and thought about how I would love to be back in school because I wouldn't have to worry about a thing caus my parents would have all the worries.
My wife and I are and have been a part of our children schooling and will continue to do so.
I look forward to the beginning of school every year because it it gives my family and I something to do. On today, Tuesday not only am I involved in my children's schooling but I support other children by attending their sporting events. My daughter 1st volleyball game of the season was today and they beat another Edgecombe County Public School Tarboro High 2 games to 1 as they play the best out of 5. I will video her games as I have done over the years and I will give a copy to the volleyball coach so the team can look at the game so they can so the success and failures on the floor.
This year I will video the varsity girls and boys basketball teams as well. I have done that over the years also but not in the latter years.
I challenge all parents to get involved in your child schooling academically and if they play sports attend their games. If you are not a parent, find a child to support academically and/or support them at athletic events.
