When we first came here in Canada two years ago, I was a little worried that my two kids will have difficulty adjusting to schooling. I could imagine the stress they will face being the new kid in class: no friends, new school, new system, new climate (coming from tropical Philippines), new teacher, girls classmates (coming from an all-boys school), new language (they can speak English but they speak it differently in the Philippines) and most different of all is having classmates with different colors of skin and hair. Even to grown adults this first indifferent experience can be daunting.
Now, Josh, age 13, seemed to have fully settled in and is now getting the hang of living Canadian. Yesterday was his graduation day. He will be grade 9 (high school freshman) this September and it will be a new big challenge for him. I was watching their graduation rites last night and my mind started to wander that after 13 years we finally made it to the first step towards every Canadian parent’s dream of putting their kids to College and University.
Congratulations to Josh and all the Graduates!
Congratulations Josh!!!
Tito Bob
happy graduation to Josh!
Hi Jo,
Thanks daw sa greetings sabi ni Josh and regards and happy vacation daw kila Patrick & Trish.
William,
What do you remember most when you were in High School william? Lagot ka, Josh is there now...:)
Junnie, High School here is very much different from our High School. I came from an all-boys high school. We were also 2 years younger when we were freshmens.
But, I am still lucky I have two boys rather than girls. Mukhang mas madaling ma accept and maka disgrasya kesa madisgrasya. But honestly I really don't know!
