I am Pleased
Dear Judy and Patty,
Per my phone conversation with Judy last week, I am sending you the feedback as below:
Robert was home safely on 3/29/08 (last Saturday evening). Again, thank you so much for everything.
First thing first, I checked with him that he did not bring home any phone numbers of other kids at SCLA. He told me that the staff had searched him before he left SCLA.
I am so pleased to see that Robert has changed. He starts to initiate conversations with us sometimes.
In the past a few days, He has been focused on how to make a new start at home. The following is a list of what he has done so far:
1) The family has celebrated his success of high school graduation at SCLA
2) He has applied for the admission to Fullerton College and is going to enroll into summer classes on May 23th. He is now doing researches and thinking about the college major of his choice.
2) He has completed the driving education online and is now waiting for the certificate to be mailed home and then start his driving school education
3) He has submitted a few applications for a temporary full-time job. I hope he receives a job offer and start to work soon.
4) He plays piano and learns to read in Chinese with me in evenings.
Both the job-hunting and the major-decision processes are new to him. It seems he is fine to deal with the challenges now.
Robert told me that he had a few items left behind at SCLA. I hope the school can take care of them. It is not necessary to ship them to us.
I understand there is still a long way to go before Robert growing up. However, SCLA has done a great job to stop his behavioral sliding at the critical point of his life. We really appreciate the great job that you have done to assist Robert making the change.
We are anxiously expecting Robert’s diploma arrives in mail soon. He will need it to satisfy his college and employer’s verification requirements soon.
Regards,
Laura
