The beginning of the "90 observation hours" began for me last week. I took my daughter to a high school football game on Friday. South Salem High School against McKay High School. It was cold and the bleachers got a bit hard, but my daughter loved it. She kept cheering "Get um! Get um!". Too cute! ...I see a cheerleader in my future. =)
The game was not what I expected. It was homecoming for South, so I thought the stands would be packed, but that was not the case. I was actually sort of shocked by this. I come from a town where people would drive 3 and half hours to watch their friends and family play football. I guess a 25 minute drive in this case was too much. Anyway...In my observation, I found the relationship between parent and high schooler interesting. Parents cheer as loud as they can for their child, and child trying their best to ignore them. I'm sure these kids (football players and homecoming court) were secretly glad their parents were there to support them, but they were VERY good at hiding it. Oh, I do NOT look forward to having a teenager at my house. Thank goodness I still have a few years. =)
