I am so sorry that I am missing this day. You think of how low stress it is for an American kid to go to their local elementary, middle, or high school. Yet we make a relatively big deal. New back pack, who will you sit with at lunch, sit in the front half of the bus etc. Kids pace over which teacher they have, what period lunch is, who they got for Gym.
Now we really do have a huge challenge, and I am of no use at all. My daughter is sitting in a Naval Academy taking classes in Spanish, and she doesn't know anyone there. It is like that nightmare where you jump out of the plane and then find out you have no parachute.
I know that this will accelerate some cool things. Beenie will make some friends her own age, have a routine that requires getting out of bed before lunch, I imagine her spanish will get better faster with the structure of book, lectures, and homework.
I know that Sabrina will handle it all in stride. I just miss her, and wish that I were more useful than the parachute you left in the plane.
BTW: I spoke with Nia last night (Sabrina's Host Sister) and felt great about that. I know Sabrina really does have parachutes, I trust that she has her angels with her today.
Good Luck Sabrina.. We are all so proud of you!!
Dad
