CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT ON EARTH

I do not know if I am doing the right thing. All I know is Katrina want to change school to maximize her knowledge she wants to try mainstream . I know in my heart she is not ready. I beg her not to do it. She was not trained in a regular school, nor SPEd for a very long time, her speech therapy as AVT auditory verbal therapy stopped for since she was only 6 or 7 years long. The struggle of being so far away from here and leaving her with her siblings. Kuya Kyle did a good job but already burned out and overwhelmed. What can I do? I just support her until she reach her goals. To speak and understand words and languages . Katrina is a very hardworking , brave and focus young woman but I told her , it is ok to acknowledged weaknesses and limitations as well. Accepting this will help her grow. Not being too hard on herself as well. Here are some picture of her new school ..Our Lady of Pilar Montessori , Las Pinas
