SOS!
HELP!
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A NEW SCHOOL!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(nails grabbing onto the floor as my mom drags me to school)
From above you could probably guess that I am more than scared. Thoughts?
a) An alien has invaded my soul
b) I am not Danya anymore
c) I am really, super freaked out of going to a totally new school in a totally different country
I am very surprised by my feelings. When I was at ISM, even just starting there in kindergarten, I was always more than excited going to school on the first day back.
All that I hope for is that I make a good first impression on my teacher and classmates and I get a bunch of good friends, like in America, and that my Danish will improve quickly once school starts.
(I'm crossing my fingers and doing yoga to soothe the butterflies)
Once those nervous butterflies flit away, you will be excited! The boys start up again tomorrow and we spent most of last night sorting out school supplies; they are thrilled and can't wait to find out their teachers this afternoon. But - admittedly - I am with you (nails on the floor, silently screaming) because I'm not ready for school to start. Love you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great school year!
DeleteHugs from America... We will be there with you in spirit. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is totally correct. You will all be here in spirt.
DeleteGlad that your excited for all the upcoming posts!
I'm nervous and exited for you. Can't wait to read about all of your impressions. Savor it, as time will fly.
ReplyDeleteOK. Thank you for pointing that out. I do think that time has flown, especially when we are having fun!
DeleteDan-yan-yanni: First, I appreciate your honesty. The friction and apprehension is part of the growth, I'm afraid. True for all of us. You'll be fine. Keep moving forward. As you get older, you'll discover that these moments of tension and reluctance ("I don't want to!" spoken in the voice of a much younger child) will recur, and a part of you will recognize the feelings and console/counsel that insecure child. You'll be fine. Keep moving forward. The value of writing these moods down is that you can revisit them over time, reconnect with them, and recognize how much you've changed (grown). Trust your strength and resilience. Just be yourself and your new friends with be drawn to who you are.
ReplyDeleteThank you, MSped. I appreciate your advice and will try to follow your instructions the best that I can.
DeleteThank you again!
Your family and friends are right their beside you cheering you on: "Go Dan-ya, Go Dan-ya!"
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHi Danya....excitement and fear are very close emotions. Instead of thinking you're feeling afraid, think that you're excited. Love you and I think you're amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Aunty! You are totally right- I should think that I am excited instead of afraid...
