My offspring are finally starting to fly successfully from the nest.....
Bridger made honor roll for the first time and we were all thrilled for him and his accomplishments. When I think about the journey we have made together over the years, it chokes me up that we have come this far. Just to recap for dramatic effect, Bridger has struggled with school since day one. His first elementry school convince me that he needed medication in order to learn. Then I spent thousands at Sylan Learning Center because they promised me the world. What a complete waste of money! Thank Goodness that didn't last long before I took him out completely of school completely, took him off the meds and homeschooled him. We did that for 3 years and enjoyed ourselves. I learned a lot about Bridger and they way he learns.
Soon after Keith become adamant (with some prodding from his family) that he should return back to the school setting. So I finally agreed to send him to a Montessori school a couple of cities away. He did pretty well there and it gave him a lot of confidence. After leaving Texas, he went back into the public school system where he will stay until he graduates.
He has bloomed this year though! He has joined several student organizations and is even an officer in one of them. He plays several sports to include football and wrestling and loves them both. I am stunned at his growth!!!! And oh so proud!
Fly Bridger!!!!
