thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...
Yay!!
ReplyDeleteI hope to join you in that brag sometime between now and June 2014 when younger son graduates.
Not holding my breath tho' ;-)
it can be done, Christina. Becca has always been highly motivated at school and has always achieved. But my older daughter Jen, currently a freshman at University of Rhode Island...her freshman year in high school ...well, let's just say school got in the way of her social life and leave it at that. turned herself around junior year, and made honor roll and even high honor roll every marking period in her junior and senior years.
ReplyDeleteyour son can do it, he just has to motivate himself -- you can't do it for him.
Good for her. And, yay for you. You should brag about your children's accomplishments
