High School Here I Come!

Cynthia's promotion was tonight. Tomorrow is the last day of middle school for her. Bye-Bye 8th grade. Bye-Bye familiar halls and familair teachers. Hello to the unknown, confusing and complex world of high school. She is starting a new phase in her life. I am excited and terrified all at once! It's hard to believe that my cute little baby has grown into a beautiful young woman about to start high school! I am so proud of how well she has done in getting this far. I am sure she will continue to grow and mature into a well-rounded young adult. I am confident in her. But yet, I am scared to death for the things she will soon face. I am filled with worry over the pressures to fitting-in and follow the crowd. I wish I could protect her from it all. But I know I can't. All I can do is watch as she utilizes all the things we have tought her. All I can do is pray. And you can bet I will be doing a lot of that!
