A Weekend Summer School



This weekend I had the opportunity to attend a local university summer school with Boy. I have to admit as the time got nearer I wasn't sure it was the right thing to do. I was worried about not fitting in; that it would be lots of big headed parents and that Boy would be out of his depth. How wrong could I be?


We had a fantastic time - in fact he quickly established himself and went off with the other children and got on with the workshops and activities. It was very tiring and very stimulating and very optimistic and everything, and much more, that I hoped it would be.


It made me understand that he copes well at school, that he does OK and that his social skills are just fine. Yeah maybe he doesn't have lots of close friends but that is OK with him so it is OK with me.


I was really tired when we came back on Sunday but also very elated, it has given us both a boost and that is good.


I have a job interview on Thursday and that is just what I needed to help me be more confident and more convinced of my ability to succeed.


A great time; a great summer school; a positive experience. Just what we needed.

Sounds like a good thing, great to get confidence, perhaps some inspiration from this.
