An F-Word For My Son On Your First Day of High School

No, not THAT F-word. And it’s not “freshman” or “friendship” either, though those certainly relate.

It does have four letters, though. It’s FAIL.

Babe, because I know you, I know you’re afraid to fail. And because of that, you’re afraid to take risks. I’m not talking about “risky” behavior, I’m talking about taking a new class or joining a new extracurricular activity. I’m talking about…putting yourself out there.

Admittedly I am totally biased, but I think you’re a super smart, nice, friendly, capable kid who can do a LOT of things well.
