A Woman’s Point of View: Back to School


by Colette Cooley, Cars for Keeps Office Manager

All you parents have probably noticed how your lives revolve around your kids. When they were born, you gave up sleep. When they were toddlers, you gave up any kind of social life. When they started school, you gave up your sporty car for that van. When they reached teen-hood, you gave up your schedule in favor of their schedule. When they started college, you gave up your life’s savings.

Oh but, what you have gotten back is priceless! All the back-talk, all the sass, all the temper tantrums are strangely forgotten when you see them in that cap and gown, or watch them perform in the orchestra, or watch them do what is right instead of what they have a right to do. You parents are truly heroes in this world.

So, once again the circle comes around and it is time to send the kiddies back to school. Whether you are bravely watching them let go of your hand and walk into school all by themselves, or more bravely watching them drive off to college by themselves, you hold panic back by going over the list of everything you have done to prepare them and seeing to their safety and welfare while they are out of your sight. Yes, a lot of it involves your car(s). Picking up, dropping off or sending off, you want that car to be in top condition.
