Letting Go

Wes on his first day of Kindergarten at Merced!

Almost 5 years ago, this handsome man and his little boy entered my life, the best thing that ever happened to me. Paul and I decided that Wes would also attend Merced, the school I teach at. He was about to enter Kindergarten and little did I know that our relationship would grow so much from there. The time together has had many great moments like talks in the car, taking him to practices, seeing him grow as an individual, being able to attend so many school events, but with the good also has come some of "those" moments. I wouldn't trade the times we have spent together for anything. Well as many of you know we have moved to Rancho, so Paul and I had a difficult decision to make, have Wes stay at Merced or have him attend the school in our new neighborhood. We decided to have him change schools and today was his first day. I took the day off, to be able to take him and drop him off at school. He was a little nervous as any kid should be. He has been at a school where he knew everyone and everyone knew him and was going to a school where he knew maybe 5 people. I picked him up from school today and he was all smiles. I am so happy that he likes his knew school. I am going to miss our daily rides in the car together, but I know that I also have to "let go", as much as I can. He will always be my little man!

You usually receive this award because you have have good attendance, good work habits, being kind to others, and homework is always turned in. This was Wesley's last award assembly since he will be attending a new school after the Thanksgiving holiday. Nice job Wes, we are so proud of you.
