The First Day of High School
L's much anticipated fist day of high school has arrived. Their school was under construction so started a month later than most school's in the area. As a result they will be running longer into the summer than the other schools and have a much leaner holiday schedule throughout the year.
It has been many years since she was in a traditional classroom after spending most of her elementary years being home schooled and her middle school years in an online school. She is not in a traditional school setting, however this format seems to be a great mix for her. She is attending a performing arts high school and spends the first two 80 minute periods each day dancing. She then has an early lunch and goes for three 80 minute academic classes. Because this is not our neighborhood school, L needs to be up bright and early to take a 40 minute bus ride to school. I think that transition has been hardest on me. I stay up much too late to be up and ready to start my day at 5:45 but I am adjusting. And so is L. She seemed to be a night owl but she loves the chance to dance everyday and has been committed to a successful transition that she has made it work.
She will have a lot of transitions and changes to get used to but is excited and enjoying the journey.
