life's more fun together
We are sitting here at the BU Dental white coat ceremony. The key note is going on right now. The weather is beautiful and we are all dressed nice. Eugene is halfway to the DMD. Even Eugene’s girl friend is here to join in the ceremony.
Yesterday, I officially started the Emory Executice MBA program. Fridayand Saturday 8-530pm was our first two days of orientation. There were 52 students in the class with an average age of 36 and 13 years of professional experience.
I was nervous at first but after meeting my class mates and seeing that everyone was just as anxious about how we could all pull this off with a demanding full time I job I felt kinship amongst my cohort.
I wrote down a few things I wanted to get out of the program
I also wrote that the reason I want this MBA program was to learn the tools and methods to apply them to become a CEO of a large company.
Here we go!
Emery finished her first week of Kindergarten this week and she loves it. The summer camp at Johnson ferry definitely trained her to adapt to new surroundings and the friends she made in camp also helped ease her into the Mt. Bethel school community.
Emery’s teachers are Ms. Allred and Ms Quintero. Ms Quintero was also one of Emery’s teacher at summer camp. So far Emery is doing great. She gets up early in the morning changes, brushes her teeth, makes her bed, combs her hair and comes downstairs. She has a shake with Ashley and we go out to the bus stop. Emery likes the school bus. We call it a cheese bus. She seems more grown up this week.
This weekend Emery’s Pre K teacher, Ms Amy gave students an assignment. Emery was suppose to read a book and then draw a picture of her favorite part and describe why.
Emery did this entirely herself. We did not touch it though we helped her spell out the words and directed her in the drawing. Emery did an amazing job and is writing a sentence all by herself for the first time.
Ashley and I are so proud.
Last week the pre-k teacher told us her cute strawberry backpack just wasn’t cutting it and that we needed a “real” backpack. So this weekend, we went to Gymboree and Emery choose one that she liked. Later at home she added more dangly keychains on it. Here she is looking now like all the other turtle kids with their giant backpacks.
