"There are two things you give your children - one is roots and the other is wings" . Part of the process of letting them fly away is letting them know that you believe in their ability to soar. As an educator, I usually witness their desire to leave and their fear of the departure. Much of this uncertainly comes from the apprehension that they may fail academically or financially. One of the last actions I can perform for my students is writing letters of recommendation stating their strengths and promise, for who knows them better than someone who has taught them for three to four years? Today I composed several letters for scholarship applications, an elite health careers program, a service project, and a job reference.I enjoy bragging about these solid individuals.
Grown-ups are the best advocates for these young adults; their flying skills are still a little shaky.
