I want to get a message to the President that he should address the current high school seniors across America. They had their senior year ruined by this virus. My daughter, for example, had her senior prom cancelled 3 hours before it was supposed to start. We were literally putting the final touches on her makeup when the school's robocall came in that all high school functions were to be cancelled immediately. This included prom, all awards ceremonies, the senior play, the senior trip to Disney World that we had being paying for all year, and now graduation. School just unceremoniously ended. They don't even get to say goodbye to the friends they've been with for years. No one is really talking about them. They feel forgotten and unimportant. And, really, so do the parents. I feel that we were robbed of this milestone, too. This is such an important transition for the whole family.
I was thinking that maybe if the President addressed the high school seniors directly that it could ease some of the sting.
Thanks, pedes!
That is fantastic. You must be so proud! He deserves recognition from his school and his peers. Having it instantly disappear sucks - no other way to say it. This is why I am angry. You see your kids work so hard to achieve something and, through no fault of their own, they are robbed of it. My daughter was one of only 5 recipients of a Marine ROTC scholarship in our state and she was really looking forward to the awards ceremony, so I feel your son's pain. I wish we could do something as parents, but we are helpless and at the mercy of our states and school boards. I admit that I was jealous of the Air Force graduation.
Thanks for saying that. you must be very proud too! One thing is for sure... We are both lucky parents! Keep fighting for your daughter. I will do the same. ;)
