Our lower level room, which is a direct shot to the car, is filled with large bags of bedding, bins of school supplies and clothes bags of pants, ties and suit jackets. Yes, it must be August and time for Tony and David to return to McCallie
They are driving themselves back to Chattanooga, a senior year tradition in our family. They will attend a week of RA training and then be totally immersed into their senior year. This year will fly by and I know our phone conversations will be limited since the demands on their time will be more than in the past.
This is our transition to college, and no where similar to boarding school where you are still in contact with teachers, dorm heads and advisors. They will slowly move towards more independence and eventually make the break to be on their own.
It is great time for a parent to see your children take one more step to growing up and growing into themselves.
