...And the vacation ends!

My long vacation officially ended today with a commencement of a project just a block away from my house. This is a lead that at first i was reluctant to accept when it was forwarded to me by my service. But it has already proven to be a good lead. It will keep my workers off the fence into the work force while we look for the officially roll out of summer. Stay tune for detail and photos from this job.

Fatu got Enrolled at St. Mark's Catholic School Today

        Today, i just registered my daughter, Fatu Aung Sang Sesay successfully at the St. Mark Catholic School in Bristol. This is huge deal for us. Because, Fatu was born on September 6, and because the school year starts on September 1, two other Catholic schools in the area had refused to enroll her as a Kindergartner. Because of the few days they have argued that she should sit in pre-school for a whole year.
     If i might add, this year, because of the labor day holiday, the school year starts on September 4th, just two days short of her birthday. So understandably, I refused to accept that option.  Beside the whole year financial burden that i have to incur, that would be delaying her entire life for a whole year. It would be a year of delay out of high school, a year of delay into college and or a year of delay into any post-college graduate that she might want to pursue. So i have been making the round at various private schools around the Bristol area and neighbors. Luckily, the folks at St. Mark accepted her.
       All they were concerned about was if she is attending pre-school. She has been enrolled at the Kinder Learning Center (a pre-school) since she was a year old. Beside that, she and I have a nightly two hours studies, seven day a week. And because of all those factors, she now has the intelligence to count up to 150 or more depending on the day, do simple addition and subtraction and write eligibly - which is far ahead of her four and half years.
       I have explained all of this to the two previous schools, and yet, they wanted my baby to spend another year in pre-school for God knows what reasons.
     If any parent out there has had any experience dealing with this age gap for enrollment for their kid(s), i would like to know how they dealt with it. 
     Take care guys and thanks for reading this post.
