Amazing Kid

Hello.

Sometimes you just gotta brag.

As I have written previously, I returned to college to get a degree in English. I am going to my old Alma Mater which also happens to be my daughter's college.

I made it a plan, to try to go as long as possible at college, without her finding out I was there. I wanted to be very sensitive to her age and her development and not embarrass her by my presence. No one wants their mom on campus with them...or so I thought.

Monday, I got an email from my daughter saying she read my blog and was amazed to learn I had decided to go back to college for a BA in English. She was encouraging in her note to me and I was glad she wasn't mad. I still wasn't sure she was entirely happy with the idea.

Tuesday, I got to campus and had to rush to pick up some things before class when I looked up and saw my daughter walking towards me. She gave me a big hug, handed me a card, and said, "I'm proud of you."

Okay, so she's totally amazing. Needless to say, the heart-strings were pulled and I learned a lesson.

I knew college would be enlightening!

Have hope,
Donna
