| Hi EL (enjoylife),
Our D is also missing the last few days of school. Luckily, we have family that lives close by in NJ so she will fly in Friday and spend the night at her uncle's house. They will drive her to WP on Saturday and then pick her up the following Friday. I was very grateful not to have to send her on an overnight red-eye (although she would be happy to do it). From what I have read, it doesn't seem like there is much of a ceremony on the last day.
Have you and your S been to a local informational meeting about WP? We attended one locally a couple of weeks ago. It sounds like there is a very helpful network out there for these kids and their families.
Has your S told many people (peers) that he is doing this? I think my D has only mentioned it to close (girl) friends. I think they all expressed shock. I think she hasn't broadcasted it because it might scare away guys. Kids are funny!
Is your S doing anything to get ready for this? We've been encouraging D to do more to prepare physically. She is a soccer player, but still.... I don't want her to go there and overdo it and get hurt. But, I'm just the Mom, what do I know?!
Thanks for your relpy. Keep in touch! |
