My son's first step into academia

My son Nikunj has taken his first step towards school! I feel proud to reach him to the same kindergarten school that me, my sister and my daughter went to. Feel sorry for the little guy, waking him out of his bed and dressing him up and stuffing food into his mouth in the morning, but everyone must go to school. Although he's been enlisted for the Playgroup it must be a big change of environment for him.

I wonder how our parents must have felt when they took us to school for the very first time. Hoping and praying that their sons and daughters would be perfect human beings and responsible citizens. But look at what monsters some of us turn out to be, letting all the big dreams coming crashing down. I cannot say I have been the perfect son myself. I have made a lot of mistakes in life, some of which I am still trying to rectify.

So as my son gets into school and the whole process of academia I do not have too much expectation from him to over achieve or be ambitious. When his calling comes I'm sure he will rise to the occasion and be himself.
