Becky’s
New Semester
Who
knew my thirteen year old would be bouncing all over the county (okay, not literally) this semester in
her activities?
Becky
decided on two courses this semester. Her
online class turned out to be a half-semester starting after her birthday. Her Macroeconomics started last week. She has Tuesday and Thursday classes for an
hour and a half, getting off just in time for Grandma to pick her up from
college on her way to work. This is nice
because it gets Becky to her 4:30 gym class which I would be late for! (Logistics is getting to be a Tetris maze
because we have four young ladies involved in four different activities at
varying times plus normal household stuff and four jobs between the three of
us! – This may ease up when Christina becomes an independent driver!)
Becky
has Tuesday & Thursday college, Thursday gymnastics, Wednesday youth group,
and periodic meetings with people adopting her little piggies. She’s doing an online coding class, doing
regular schoolwork, assistant teaching, babysitting, and just decided to start
her own website to show people her little farm critters.
Becky wants to be an orthodontic
surgeon at the moment; although that has fluctuated from brain surgeon,
midwife, obstetrician, dentist, orthodontist, her direction will likely be
medical. She studies all kinds of fun
things along the way: conjoined twins (brain
operations to keep their brains intact successfully), whole body health,
nutrition, how nutrition affects the teeth, how a healthy smile affects a
person’s confidence, brain development and chemicals, the effects of stress on
the body… you name it, we’ve likely heard Becky popping up from some research with,
“hey! You know what?” and relaying all
this new knowledge. She likes to read
opposing views, research, and experiment to see what result she gets.
She’s anxiously waiting for braces;
hopefully that happens soon – as she wants a “smile I am proud of.” (But I don’t know how we’ll squeeze another
item in our family schedule!)
I’m thoroughly enjoying this discovery stage Becky has been traveling through. I smile when I think of her being almost 2-years-old using my phone charger as a Doppler to “hear” Kimberly’s heartbeat and later handing my midwife the instruments as she named them during the first part of Kimberly’s birth. That started Becky’s love of health, the human body, and eventually medicine. My little scientist. Animal lover. Comedian. I pray she finds her path as God leads her and enjoys her journey along the way!
Type at you next time,
