RIANNA’S FIRST DAY OF GRADE ONE
Today August 15, 2018 is Rianna’s first day in grade one. It was a special day for us. Our daughter starts the grade school. She is growing fast. Time really goes by really fast. It was sad and happy moments for me, sad knowing that she’s not a baby anymore and happy for her achievements. She is now in grade one which is such a big thing. I hope she will learn a lot in school and she will do more improvements this year. We believe in her capability and I know she can do this.
It will be another challenging year for us. The school is quite far now comparing before. So the walking will be harder. And because my work shift is also getting early. Seven instead of 7:30, so yeah we see how it goes. I do hope that my shift isn’t so early. But right now it is how it is. We can do this. We have done this last year, we can do this year as well. It will change soon though as soon as Yanna knows how to go to school on her own then we don’t have to go early every morning. But that probably happens next year or the following year.
Even though she is now in grade one, she still is in school for long hours as I work full time every day and no one can watch her at home. It’s quite hard like this but we have arranged her morning and afternoon group so she could be in school before and after school hours. I also need to do extra tutoring for her at home.
It is still hard for me to do this single parenting even though Yanna’s father is very supportive and is always there. I will try my best to find that energy after a long day at work. We can do this. I know we can.
We co-parenting but she is with me most of the time, and sometimes I feel that what I’ve done for her isn’t enough. We all think and do what is best for our children. Making them always the priority. But there’s this feeling sometimes that you start questioning yourself, was it enough? Have I done what I have to do? It’s not easy being a parent. And again, I know we can do this. God will help and guide us. Good luck Rianna at her school! I am proud of her.
