S-C-H-O-O-L You Got to go to School and Beat that Bell

Warren: School, it’s that boring, but really important thing that we all have to do at some point in our lives. If you’re wondering why this blog is about school, I start school tomorrow, so, yeah. Uh hem, anyway… School can be fun in some aspects, but for the most part, it’s really boring and monotonous. Especially if you don’t really have an interest in anything. Me, on the other hand, I have an interest in a lot of things. So, other than math, I don’t really get bored or frustrated because I try to be good at pretty much everything. I try to enjoy pretty much everything. Heck, even math sometimes, but a lot of the time it doesn’t work out like all the other classes. While I am not looking forward to going back tomorrow; I’m pretty sure I’ll like all my classes and teachers. So, as long as I keep trying to have fun in all of my classes, school should at least feel easier to me. How does the saying go? It’s not about the journey, it’s about the friends you make along the way. Is that how it goes Mom? Leah: I don’t know? Or something like that… Or you just made a whole new saying and I like it. Warren: Anyway, I have a lot of friends and that should make school a lot happier and easier to bear. So, yeah, that’s pretty much it. I just wanted to tell you guys what I thought about school and my thoughts on going back to school. Since I’m starting school, we might write our blog every Friday or Saturday. So, we might have a little double header blog this week...if I feel like it. Leah: School, at the end of the school year, you can’t wait for summer break. After two weeks of listening to Minecraft, Fortnite and YouTube videos, you can’t wait for school to start again. It’s a catch 22. Last year was such a big transition with it being Warren’s first year in middle school. As ready as I am for school to start, I can’t help but have fears and worries. I hope the second year of middle school runs a bit smoother than the first year. There were so many times last year that I wanted to pull Warren out of school and have him do online schooling instead. I knew I could never do that because it wouldn’t be fair to him. Warren is so sociable, so smart and bright, he needs to be able to shine for all to see. I warned him that middle school would be a lot different and that he needed to hold his ground at all times. I reminded him, (as I do all the time), he has a voice, use it. When I’m not there to advocate for him, to advocate for himself. I think I had a harder time with the transition than he did though. I just hope for the majority of his interactions to be positive this year. No matter how much you’re ready for them to go back to school, it’s hard to let our babies go off into the unknown just the same… Whatever age they may be. One thing is for certain, it goes way too quick. I may not cry when he leaves on the bus that first day anymore. But, I can’t help but think, with each grade he progresses, I just don’t know how the time goes so fast. So, make sure to hold em’ tight and hug em’ hard on that first day… That is, if they’ll let you.
