Shout out to all the parents going back to school this year. The parents writing papers after washing bottles, the parents highlighting the reading with your kid asleep in your lap, the parents whose work desk is also a kitchen table with spaghetti noodles scattered across it.
Whether it’s high school, GED, college, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate being a parent & going *back* to school is one of the toughest balancing acts out there.

So much respect to the folks who do it, especially single parents. Your kids are lucky to watch your persistence.
So often parents go back to school not only to pursue their own dreams but to make the lives of their children better—to achieve the sort of economic mobility that’s going to give them a different life.

It’s an enormous sacrifice & one of the most radical acts of love there is.
