First day high

Today marks the first day of school for ate Maisie. This is her new school, new classmates, everything is new to her. As I have anticipated, ate was not able to wake up early, (unlike any other day when she woke at 530am). Her class begins at 8am. Papa woke her at 630am to take a bath. No more breakfast for her but I packed her food in case she wants to eat rice in school.

We arrive school at 730am. Our notice said that we should be in the classroom 30 minutes before the time. Thus we rushed to her class room located in the 2nd floor of the building. I was apprehensive leaving her alone. Although there were classmates already but with their respective parents. And since I have to punch in to record my time, I asked ate if its okay to leave her she said yes. I hurried with the things I have to do, after 10 minutes I went back to ate. There she was sitting calmly, while one of her classmate was crying wanting for her parents to fetch her. I told ate to picked a book or play with her boy classmates while waiting for their teacher. She instead get a book. I know she could not concentrate because just infront her was the crying classmate. My heart skipped a bit. I was afraid ate will also cry if its time for me to leave. After five minutes of sitting with her in the classroom, she told me I should leave because I might be late for the office. That moment I felt relieve and proud of ate. I left. After 5 minutes I went back to see how she is faring. The teacher was already in. She saw me and she waved, I waved back. Then the teacher closed the door.

I realized ate was so ready for school. I am proud of you ate. You are mature enough and ready to explore the world.Keep up the good works ate, discard the bad. We are here supporting your every endeavor. Today marks the beginning of her journey. Before we know it, she'll graduate from grade school to soon. But she'll always be our baby.
