My Lives

It has been a long week and it certainly was a long day.  You both had your presentations today and you performed with flying colors. Your teachers are all incredibly pleased with you all/both, and I am excited for you. Em, I have shared with you that I think, after all that has happened, that you are afraid of success.  The more I watch and listen the stronger this impression becomes.  I cannot help but begin yet on a new mission to help guide you through if in fact we find this to be true.  It is my new theory given the fact that on the one hand you show growth, express excitement, share new learning, glow over but yet you claim unhappiness with no known source and a desire to leave.  I can’t help to wonder if you want to escape all the positive growth because you are afraid to succeed.  How do I help[?]  Brandon, you are showing growth through leadership.  You turned in your  first job application, you are conducting for Maggie, leading boys dance teams, and hopefully, recognizing that you have gifts to share, you both do, and it should be a goal, a mission, to do that.  Our purpose in life should be to leave where you’ve been a better place.  Touch it with your gifts and leave your magic.  I will leave you very little, but I hope it’s quality will last beyond a lifetime.

You guys are my world.
