Next is Graduation

Daily I get a reminder in the morning on the way to work how many days it is until graduation. Like I don't know - I'm the principal!! I have a unqiue situation because I ride to work daily with my son, who is a student at the school where I am the principal. And yes, he is a senior suffering from senioritis. Most days I indulge him and just listen to his count down. Some days I do have to smile though - doesn't he realize he is not the only one counting?! Doesn't he realize what it is going to mean to see him walk across that stage and get his dipolma to those around him? His educational path has not been easy, on any of us. We are lucky, he is bright and talented. He is gifted and gifted with learning differences. He is also cocky and stubborn and has never went around the block the short way. School has been no different. So...we are going to celebrate in 38 days! We are going to celebrate many things. And then.....we are going to hold our breath and see what happens next!
