Wake Up! Get Ready! Don’t Forget your Lunch!

Posted by: Mauro Vaisman on September 01

This week, kids across America are starting school. Do you remember that mixed feeling? Summer vacation is over, but you want to meet the new teacher, see old friends, share your stories about camp.

And you are wondering: Any new kids in class?

Yes. My wife.

My wife is also going back to school. Full time.

In April, she told us how she feels about going back to school.

If all goes as planned, she should be done in three years, but who is counting…Me. I am counting. I will support her all the way, so her dream can be fulfilled, and we can move to the next phase of our lives, the two family income.

I am proud of her. But yes, I am scared as well—our lives will change. The schedules, the papers, the school supplies—now it’s all “times 3”

I know that my job as a working parent will get harder. It will be a challenge for all of us. But we are all ready (we hope). We all want Jody to get her PhD. She will be the Doctor in the family.

Are you facing the same situation? Please share your opinions. We all need to hear from you.

I have to go. Today I am making an extra lunch for tomorrow’s lunch box.

And to you Jody: Good luck. This challenge is ours!
