Bag? Check. Shoes? Check. Books? Check. Notebooks? Check. Change of clothes? Check. Toiletries? Check. Lunchbox? Check.
Everything is smelling new and looking new.
Wait… Camera? Check.
What’s the occasion? It’s YOUR child’s first day of school. Ever.
Days, weeks, or even months prior to one of the most exciting times in a child’s life, everything has been planned. From the schedule to the activities, clothes, and even menu of healthy snacks.
When my eldest daughter, then our only child, was ready to go to school, I already knew where I would enroll her. At this wonderful school I have heard about, where some of my students with developmental problems go to. I knew they accommodate children with special needs but I still wanted my daughter to go there.
Why? Because I wanted her to go to school with these children, not only for her to understand the kind of children I dealt with at work but for her to be able to see that people learn differently.
Why else did I want to enroll my daughter in this particular school?
