Chance started school this past week. He has a full schedule. He is taking physics, P.E., choir, a computer class, speech, history and English and he is taking 9th grade math honors. Since his math class is a high school math class it actually counts on his high school transcript. At this rate, Chance will graduate high school having taken calculus. Chance has one of those engineering type brains.He also practices soccer every Monday and Thursday after school plus weekly games.
And he helps to plan activities and lead his youth group at church.
Oh, and his mowing business is still going strong as people still need him to take care of their yards.
Chance is a busy boy.
He also manages to make movies with his friends in between everything else that he does.
This past week Chance got a nice surprise. Two of his friends who spent years with him attending the School for the Deaf toured his school to see if they wanted to attend.
Chance attends a charter school and there is a waiting list to get in. Apparently, his friends names came up. Chance didn't even know they were on the waiting list.
Chance is so excited about the prospect of having some of his deaf friends attend his school. These boys have been friends with Chance since he was 3 or 4 and the opportunity to be in the same school again would be great. All of them wear cochlear implants and have been attending neighborhood or charter schools for years now.
Both boys are a year behind Chance in school, but they would all be in junior high which means they would see each other all the time, and possibly have some classes together. Then there is lunch. They would all have the same lunch time.
Update: Chance's two friends are not going to attend his school this year but are looking to attend next year. Sigh, Chance is bummed but many of his friends from last year are still at the school so he still has an active social life :)
