学着放手

Last Friday, secondary one students taking 3rd language are supposed to report to language Centre.  It wasn’t clear on the letter as to what was to do done, as in if it’s just registration, or buy books, or if there's orientation.  I read online forum that they are to buy books, and that the books are very expensive.  Anyway, due to stock-take at office, I decided to let Lynn go by herself.

I told her to send me updates when making her way there (in case she get lost), so she sent me a photo when she got there.  Then she WhatsApp me a lot, when she was filling in the registration form.  Soon after, she went home. 

That night, I found out from her that she bought a stack of books (I thought only one textbook).  They costed $155 in all!  She paid with her new ATM card. 

I'm very happy that she handled this by herself.  I hope she enjoys the new found freedom and responsibilities.  I'm learning (very well) to let go.
