#giftedchild

I’m so excited to share with you what came in the mail the other day! It’s Faye’s very own Promil Four #NurtureTheGift Photobook featuring her simple creations since she was younger. I actually feel bad that most of her photos when she was younger got corrupted in my old phone. I don’t have much aside from those posted on social media. That’s why having these photos printed now is really special to us.

Wow, look at this! Isn’t it pretty?

I believe that parents are every child’s number one fan. No matter how big or small their achievements are, us parents will always be proud and happy for what they have accomplished. My eldest daughter, Faye, has shown interest in styling since the age of 3. And by styling, I mean styling her dolls. This all started when she used playdoh to make dresses for her little dolls. She was also able to make dresses out of the tissue, deflated balloons, handkerchiefs, ponytail, paper, and adhesive tapes ⎯ talk about recycled fashion! I think she has an inclination to become a fashion designer one day.

(My version of two days into college by Aimee Carty)

I’m two days out of high school

And the future is unknown

Will I be able to make college friends?

Will I be all alone?

It doesn’t really sit with me quite right

Cause my entire highschool life

I’ve been sitting in the shadows

Too afraid to touch the light. 

I’m only two days out of high school,

I never wanted this

Expectations crushing me, 

But nothing seems amiss 

Until I’m laying in bed at night thinking, 

Am I good enough?

The college I got into 

Just isn’t one they love 

Did I do well?

Please do tell

Can I rest

Though I’m not the best? 

I tend to forget

I’m only sixteen years old

In a way

My life is just beginning to unfold 

I’m enough

I’m enough

I’m enough

Will my high school friendships last? 

Will they become a thing of the past? 

Will college treat me kinder

Will I somehow be happier? 

Will I learn to love myself in college?

I hope I’ll learn to love myself

in college
