This may or may not be breaking some rules, if it is I apologize . I mean no harm but sometimes you just gotta do what you just gotta do. 신용카드현금화
The first thing I should say is thank you for reading this. The next thing I should say is that if this offends you in any way , I apologize . That having been said , if you are receiving this letter it means I know you , think I know you , wish I knew you or don’t really know you at all. Pretty much, if I know you exist and I have your e-mail address , I am sending this to you. 신용카드현금화
If you read on , you will understand. This is reguarding my son , Nicholas . Nicholas will be 11 in April. He’s in 5th grade and will be going into middle school next year. Nicholas struggles with ADHD as well as a slight learning disability. He is unique in a way , being that he is very intelligent and gifted and at the same time , challenged in certain areas. 신용카드현금화 For example, Nick averages between 95 – 105 as a grade on his spelling tests for the last 3 years , but … if he has to write a paragraph he spells at least 50 % of the words wrong. He averages 85 or better on every math , science or social studies test he takes but he is in danger of failing 5th grade because he can’t complete his assignments on time.
Nick is also socially challenged. He is very big for his age. He is 10 years old and is already 5’5″ . He is on average 8-12 inches taller than the other kids in his grade. He is still very innocent and independent . He prides himself on not being like all of the other kids. He has no real interest in popular music. His favorite things to listen to are Bing Crosby , Rosemary Clooney , Elvis, Styx, Glen Burtnik and other people that most of the kids his age have never heard of.
So, now that you know about Nicholas, I’ll finally get to the point of this letter.
In the beginning of the school year , Nick’s principal and special -ed teacher came to me with a concern. That concern being that Nicholas is going to have a really hard time making the transition from Elementary school to Middle school. They said that they were worried that he would , in essence , get lost in the crowd, get eaten alive by the kids and probably fall apart. We all know about the power struggles and popularity contests that go on at this age. Those kids who are different and don’t fit in can take terrible abuse from the rest of the kids. So they said that over the summer they had started looking in to a local private school that they thought would be a great place for Nick. ( imagine how blown away I was knowing that they were spending their summer , free time worrying about my son ) The name of the school is Oakwood Friends School . It is a school that is Quaker based . The class sizes are very small and they have an excellent academic support program for kids like Nick. 신용카드현금화
When I say the class sizes are small , the 2004-2005 6th grade class consists of 8 students. Yes 8 students…. the 6th grade class at the public school will have approximately 300. Quite a difference.
So, we started looking into the school , Nicholas loves it. We filled out the applications and they accepted him based upon his academic abilities. He was so happy when he got the news that he ran around the house screaming with joy.
So, here’s the problem. Because of the intimacy and low student ratio the tuition is very high. With the Academic Support added to the regular tuition ,the bill comes to over $20,000 . They have given us a fairly generous amount of financial aid but with all the savings we can spare and cutting everything that even resembled a frill from our lives , I am more than $7000 short of what we need. To some that might not be a lot but to us it’s very big. And if I don’t find a way to pay for it and sign the contracts by March 31st we will lose his spot in the class and his financial aid. 신용카드현금화
I can’t tell you how awful it feels to know that there is a good chance that I won’t be able to make this work. I know there are many parents who are protective of their children but when a teacher and a principal come to you and tell you that your child is without a doubt , going to get lost if he goes into the public school , it is something that needs to be taken seriously. I haven’t planned since the day Nick was born for him to go to private school. We’ve had 4 months to try to get this together. And unless a miracle happens , I am going to fail.
So… I said some prayers and the only answer I got was that I need to ask for help. So, I have swallowed my pride and that’s what I’m doing. Asking for help …
( this is where this might start to sound like a scam , but on everything that is holy , I swear to you, it is not )
I am not looking for a hero to step up and save us. I am asking for a little bit of help from as many people as possible. Wether it be $20, $50 or $100 . I believe that with a little bit of help from you I might be able to do it.
Before you start to think about it , take a look at the school at Oakwoodfriends.org . It is truly a wonderful , caring environment that embraces our children’s individualism . 신용카드현금화
If you want to help , I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you want to help but can’t afford it, just pass this on to someone who might be able to. Who knows, maybe with your help I can do this for Nicholas.
If you can help , just leave me a private message and we can talk about it. If you can’t help , thank you for your time in reading this and just keep a good thought for us on our quest.
God Bless you all …
