I'm happy, excited, sad, worried... and then some about my son going to school tomorrow. He starts 2nd grade. My boy is growing fast. So many people talking about their shopping sprees and having everything ready for school. All their back to school stuff...
Stupid stores always reminding us that break is over so fast....
And now...
It literally is...
But, I think this is the first time he's not going in new clothes. I suppose new clothes isn't the important part of going to school but I suppose the media and materialistic people have embedded this in society so a part of me can't help but to feel guilty.
You know what, though? When I was growing up we didn't go to school without the latest. An old backpack that has durability is just as good as a new one. I didn't fail school because I didn't have the coolest shoes. I didn't flunk because I was not inn style. I had pencils and paper, I went to school and every else is history. Once I can I'll start buying him a few items at a time. I start teaching lessons again next week. It sucks not having much of work during the summer.
My son will do well, if it kills. I wish him the best tomorrow. I love him with all my heart and with hard work and dedication he will go far.
