I arrived at my son’s new school feeling a mix of anxiety and hope, only to hear troubling words from his teacher: “Jacob had some challenges.” But it was the sad silence from my son that spoke louder, hinting at a deeper issue I couldn’t yet understand behind the school’s closed doors.

The sun was warm, yet I felt a chill. As I stepped out of the car onto the school sidewalk, my hands trembled ever so slightly.

The air smelled of freshly mown grass and new beginnings, but my mind was heavy with worry.

I saw Jacob standing by the school’s front doors, his shoulders slumped, his backpack low. Ms. Emily, his teacher, stood beside him.
She looked young—maybe in her early 30s—wearing a crisp blue blouse with a clipboard tucked under one arm. Her smile was polite, but tight and forced.

Jacob saw me and started walking slowly toward the car, his eyes glued to the ground.
