I have been waiting for a long time to start this thread! Finally kiddo has made it to high school starting this Fall. Let’s go Class of 2029!

I’ll admit that I’m not ready for this! Still have a D26, so in the middle of the whole “process”. But twin S29s will be up soon enough!

Wow! I guess it’s about that time. Also focused on D26 for now, but D29 is on the way.

Can’t believe it is that time already! My daughter will be entering high school in just a few weeks. School here starts incredibly early! I don’t think any of us are ready in my household!

Just dropped off S25 last week; now time to start thinking about D29. They are so very different. My son didn’t really think about college until Jr year spring break when I made him tour some schools with me. The girl already has a list and is trying to build a resume to get into top schools. S25 is crazy smart to the point he doesn’t have to try hard to get good grades, which led to some poor study habits. D29 is plenty smart, but has to work harder for As and has much better study and organizational skills. S25 won’t speak unless someone else starts up the discussion; D29 is a little social butterfly.
I find the differences interesting in how they approach problems and goals. D29 wanted to be in Spanish 3, and the school placed her in Spanish 2. D25 would have just accepted it or I would have had to fight to make a change. D29 would be embarrassed if I did anything and went to advocate for herself, which resulted in getting moved to Spanish 3. I suspect she will have very different ideas on which colleges to apply to.
