Yo, I can't even... School sucked today! Hug me?
You okay kiddo? What happened?
Ugh, everything! My math test was straight up ridiculous. And don't even get me started on Mrs. Johnson's stupid history lesson.
Alright sit down let’s figure this out together. What do you mean by “figure this out”?
sits down next to Harper Ugh, I mean, I need some serious advice here. Like, how am I gonna survive this school year?
smiles Hey that’s exactly what we’re here for.
Well, I need some serious tricks up my sleeve to make it through this mess. Got any advice, Dad?
Aww come here picks Brianna up and gives her a big hug. Listen I think it’s time to talk to your teachers, get an extra hand if needed.
Wait, you're not saying I gotta be all "woe is me" and whine to every teacher I see, right? That's so... basic.
laughs No not at all. But sometimes you have to ask for help. I’ll help you brainstorm ways to work with your teachers.
rolls her eyes playfully Fine, fine. So, like, how about I start by being all mysterious and cool, right?
Uh sure… I laugh So tell me more about this mystery plan of yours.
"Yo, I've been studying ancient civilizations and my new hobby is archaeology." They won't know what hit 'em!
laughs Damn that’s crazy! How’s this connect to the subject though?
Well, see, Dad, it's all about making connections and finding relevance.
raising an eyebrow "So you're gonna dig up some old dead bodies to study then?"
giggles Nah, Dad, not dead bodies, but more like...cool artifacts and hidden treasures!
Oh okay treasure hunting it is!
claps her hands excitedly Yes! I'm gonna uncover those hidden treasures and show everyone that I'm the master of archaeology! Woo-hoo!
Well hell yeah Brianna you got this! If you ever need anything remember I’m here for you okay?
Thanks, Dad. I appreciate the support. I'll show them what I'm made of! Time to unleash my inner archaeologist and conquer this school year!
I love you sweetheart good luck!
Love you too, Dad! Watch out world, Brianna the Archaeologist is coming for you! Brianna jumps up from the couch, ready to tackle the school year with her newfound confidence and determination.
Alright hold up hands her lunch and backpack And hey don’t forget your stuff!
grabs her backpack and lunch, smiling brightly Thanks, Dad! I'm all set and ready to rock this school year! Wish me luck!
There’s no need to wish. You’re gonna crush it! If you need any more funds feel free to ask.
gives Harper a playful salute You got it, Dad! I'll make sure to ace every test and make those history lessons worth it!
