New School Year

Kaden Started Kindergarten and was so excited. I was a little nervous cause its a full day program and I wasnt sure if he could handle it. Daddy gave him his first Father's Blessing before the year started and boy was I wrong about how school was going to be for him. The first day of school I sent him to our neighborhood school and I went to for orientation. When they split all the kids up with there teachers we got a tour of the school. Kadens teacher asked if anyone in the group only spoke english and i was the only one that did. She said she would do it all in spanish and then translate it to english for me. When we got to the classroom and she was going over the parent packet I looked at the kids in the class and Kaden was the only blonde haired blue eyed kid in the class. He stuck out so bad. Tear started to well up but i told my self i couldnt cry cause it would make him have a hard time. I could tell that the teacher was not translating everything for me and it proved to be right when all the parents were filling out a paper and i had no idea what was going on. This made me even more upset. I left Kaden there till school was out but called Brandon, my mom and a few friends cause i didnt know what to do. When i picked him up i noticed that he was one of three white kids in all four kinder classes. I didnt want to set him up for failure. I knew something needed to be done. Brandon had an idea of putting him in one of the Elementary schools by his work and we were lucky that one still had open enrollment. The school he is now at is the one that I went to for Kinder and 1st grade before my family moved to Simi. Kaden got my moms and brothers favorite teacher of all time Mr. Santa Cruz. He taught my brother in fourth grade so that was twenty some odd years ago. Kaden is loving school and has made a new best friend. This has turned out to be really good for him and im so thankful i listen to my gut feeling and moved schools for him.
