Maryuri

Maryuri will be 8 in June.  She could be in  3rd grade right now, but she has had a very difficult time getting the school thing down.  She is in 1st grade for another year.  Last year was very overwhelming to her, as I am sure being in a class with 50 other kids would be to any 1st grader.  She had a teacher that was very strict, and Maryuri was somewhat intimidated by all of it.  For the first several months of school, all she did was cry and plead Karen to not have to go one more day.

This year, Maryuri is much more accustomed to being in school.  She has been writing her letters very well, and getting her homework done very quickly, (and accurately).  She still has a little trouble with math, but realizing that she can in fact do school, has made her a much more confident child.  Last year on test days she normally did not put anything on the paper except maybe her name, this year we are hoping that she tries her best on tests.

This morning, Maryuri had an appointment with the psychologist at Teleton, and Maryuri beamed as I related her improvement in school from last year, as well as her improvement in behavior.  Please pray for my girl Maryuri as she tries in school, and as we try to work through some issues in her that provoke a very aggressive behavior at times.  Also, praise God about the changes he is already making in her life.
