When our child was growing up, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t anxious for him.
I was.
My child when he was in middle school, was a straight A student. He was incredibly smart, as well as he knew it. He enjoyed to please, as well as was a professor’s favorite student… Didn’t matter what subject it was, if he put his heart into it, he could ace it. He told myself and others he wanted to become a doctor, as well as I was so proud. However, when he went to middle school, he started hanging out with the wrong crowd, which convinced him it was cool to take drugs. He began to lie to me, as well as sneak out. There would be times I didn’t guess where he was, as well as it greatly anxious me. He didn’t accept help from myself and others or his father, it wasn’t until a single of his friends died due to their reckless lifestyle, he started getting his stuff together. It took awhile, but eventually he was declared to be clean. He still wanted to be a doctor, although he wanted to put it off for awhile while he heals. Instead he went to Heating as well as Air Conditioning school, as well as instead started hanging out with fellow Heating as well as Air Conditioning workers as well as turned his life around. He graduated as a certified Heating as well as Air Conditioning worker as well as was hired by a local air conditioning corporation. I am so proud of how he turned out; For a while I was pretty distraught for him, as well as I distraught he was going to end up in jail. I am so ecstatic he found his heating & A/C friends, they helped get his life on track. Without that, I know it would be much harder to help him.
