The thought of my child starting grade school next year made me feel a bit anxious.

I've heard that while kindergartners return home after 4 in the afternoon, grade school kids come home shortly after lunch.

That means there isn't much free time left over for the moms.

So, I decided to prepare this year for certification exams that take up a lot of time.

First, I studied for and obtained certification as an elementary school math instructor.

Next, I earned a certificate for computerized accounting.

It required more test prep than I expected because it was an unfamiliar field.

I had to take the test with a sense of tension that I hadn't felt in a while.

Before my child starts elementary school, I plan to prepare for two more certifications.

I believe showing my child the effort I put into studying is a valuable lesson.

I'm not sure whether these certifications will ever come in handy.
