After attending another parent meeting about my
7-year-old child's behavior, I didn't know what to do. It was the second school
we had tried for Nathan and, as always, everything was being done for my
child's needs. It was also having bad influence on Nathan. He would come home
and say, "Mom, I hate my life. I do not want to live any more." I was
afraid that my son was beginning to suffer from depression(抑郁) and that I was losing him. We
needed help.
By the age of seven, Nathan had already had
three surgeries (外科手术) for his ears. He was in great
pain, which made it difficult for him to learn or pay attention. Despite
Nathan's bad condition, the staff at two former schools seemed as if they
didn't care. They often forgot to deal with his medication(药剂). As a result of
many times of ear infections (感染), Nathan had hearing loss. To make things worse,
Nathan's speech was not very good. Children would make fun of him and Nathan
began to fall behind in study.
When I first set foot into Ripley House
Charter School, I knew this was the school for my son. It felt positive from
the moment I entered. From the start, Mrs. Elsen and her staff heard my concern
over Nathan. Mrs. Elsen dealt with my concern, not with empty words but with
action.
That day, Nathan came home from his first
day of school saying, "Mom, I love school!" By the end of the week he
was saying, "Mom, I like my life. I have a good life." Ripley House
Charter School gave me my son back and saved our lives. Thank you for giving me
back what we had lost—HOPE.
