Today Staci becomes a sophomore in high school. She is taking courses now to help her with a career. She will learn to drive this year. Heaven help me if she starts dating (I will need Xanax).
It is just so strange that she is this old. I remember being a sophomore, it was a horrible year. I actually dropped out of high school after that. Kids were so grown up, there was all sorts of new problems to deal with, it was a mess, and now she is there. I so hope and pray she does better than I did. She has a better advantage than I did. My mom was popular in high school, had tons of friends, so she could not relate to how high school could be a bad place. I can. I do not want her year to be bad, I want it to be great. I want her to flourish, becoming the amazing woman I know she can be, but if it is tough, I want her to know I understand. I will help her realize that it will pass and she will make it out okay. It is just nine months, not forever. It will just seem like it LOL.
