Jumping In, Both Feet at a Time

My daughter S has taken to this move like a fish in the water.  She said she knew it would be hard, but she would be alright because she makes friends easily.

What a great attitude!

I wish we could all be so positive. She has decided that she wants to be involved in all sorts of things associated with the Middle School.  She really hasn't been involved with much before, but here, the opportunities have been opened to her.

She decided to run Cross Country. She did well, made friends, and had fun.

She also joined the chess club.  She participated in a tournament where she played for about 5 hours.  She played 5 games.  Two of them she won, two of them she lost, and one ended in a draw.  (One of the other player had S in check mate several times, but neither of the players noticed it, so it ended in a draw!)

Oh yeah, and by the way. . . . Mom I joined the swim team, and practice is at 6:15 am. . .

Sigh.
