When I look at my Katya, I still see my little girl. When I look at the numbers such as "7th" grade or "12" years old...I see a beautiful young woman who is cruising through life with great enthusiasm and energy.
Katya was ready to start school. We had a fantastic relaxing summer this year, but she was still very excited to find out what this 7th grade will bring. School started on August 31st, a very-very rainy and sad looking day:) Katya wore her new shirt that says "genius" on it (it's an inside joke for those who are aware of what she was doing last December). And she had to wear her sling.
Because Katya wasn't allowed to lift her backpack yet, Alex volunteered to walk with her to the bus stop to help her. She was hoping our neighbor boys would help her at school as well (and they did).
This semester Katya is taking English, Math (8th grade), Geography, Science, Chinese (beginner), Health and Choir. This is very different from when I was growing up. In seventh grade, I had at least thirteen subjects, as far as I remember.
Katya was even more confident this year than last--after all she knew the ins and outs of the school and knew the teachers. She said 30% of the children at school are NEW this year. That's a military school for you--the only thing that is constant is change:).
Wishing Katya a great school year!
Seventh grade, here she comes!
