Through the parental advocacy sessions, I have learned: effectively advocating in parent/teacher conferences, community resources to broaden my kids’ opportunities and supplement their academic success, and how to better nurture their natural gifting, talents and interests. Through scholarships, I know others are standing with me, willing to invest in my children’s academic success and future. Through the student journal, it helps to write down specific goals, challenges and successes. This helps me to remember how much we are accomplishing through seemingly small successes, and it helps me understand the part I play in achieving bigger successes with my child and their school. I enjoy the encouragement I receive from Parents Challenge to keep advocating for my child. It helps to know that little investments along the way can pay huge dividends, in terms of encouraging my child to aim for academic and personal success.
