I wrote an article about my son's problems with school and how the system deals with kids that don't fit the norm. I submitted it to the 4 main newspapers in the state. It was printed in one paper that first week. I emailed reminders to the editors of the others. Just to make sure that they really read it and that I really thought people's eyes would be opened about the problem.
The second paper contacted me this week and let me know that they were going to run it as a "Guest Commentary" in this Sunday's issue!! He wanted a head shot with it. My first panic was that I didn't want people to see me. Then, I remembered that after losing so much weight this year, it was ok. I sent him my new favorite pic of myself and I don't even feel embarrassed about it!!

Trying to build a better life, one good choice at a time.

That's a wonderful NSV, for you and your son and kids in general. Being a kid is way harder than it should be or used to be. They have so much more to deal with at an ealy age. Good for you :o) jeani
