My twins graduated from high school at the end of May, marking the culmination of a rollercoaster ride over the past few months. It has been a mix of joy and sadness as we celebrated the end of high school life and looked ahead to the next journey, which involves preparing for university, new experiences, and exciting opportunities.
Between preparing for the rigors of the IB exams, attending the last few school activities, and managing the erratic schedules as the “finish line” loomed, it’s been a challenging time for everyone. Time seemed to fly by; before I knew it, it was graduation day. I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw them in their caps and gowns after the ceremony. The highs and lows of this journey, navigating single parenthood with twins in a foreign country, is not for the faint-hearted, but moments like these make it all worthwhile.
I am so proud of their achievements, especially for A, who has overcome so much to reach this point. Their experiences in China will help them when they start university in Europe, enabling them to understand a bit of their heritage and explore that part of their culture.
I end this post with a grateful and whole heart 💖.
