In the week's leading up to my son's first kindergarten report, I felt myself having more anxiety. My anxiety stemmed from the unknown and the fact this would be his first formal academic evaluation. I didn't have a reason to worry but you just never know. Since I didn't know what to expect I told myself to not have any expectations. As soon as he got home on report card day, I opened the envelope quickly. After a look at the grades, my mind was blurting out "WHAT?!? How on earth could he get 2 C's?!?". My Asian mind was flabbergasted at how a child of mine could even get a "C". Once I calmed down, I took a step back and came away with four important lessons.
