12 Amazing Responses Given By Daughter to Father Over 12 First Days in School in 12 Years
At first, you are excited that you are going back to school. Your school bag is new and if you go to the private schools, you are probably wearing a new uniform. Your parents tuck you in the back seat of the car and off you go – to begin your own life – says the adoring parents.

They kiss you goodbye at the school entrance and hand you over to your school teacher. And right there and then, the apprehension begins. There are so many people, too many bells, and you don’t understand what the teacher says. It is so unlike your local day care where you used to play with Meg and Bryan…the kids next door. No sir! You will have to put up with bigger kids.

But memories can be made. And this is exactly what Kevin Scruggs set out to do with his daughter Mackenzie when her turn to go to school came. Aged six and with a school bag, he started to take interviews of her first day in school.

There are hundreds of people who wish they have documented their children’s first day in school just like Kevin. Others have made a commitment to record their children’s first day in school. It is heartwarming to see your children go through these stages of their life.

One fan of the video, which has recorded more than 2 million views had this to say:
“It is sweet that she could tell her dad that she was looking for cute boys. The father shows maturity by understanding checking out boys is part of a high school’s girl life. He doesn’t come out as over protective”.

Another fan (imnoidoit5) said:
“It’s so weird right? One day you have a kid, they’re an infant who is the size of your forearm and then boom they’re in high school. Being a parent is a whirlwind of so many things. I’m happy that this guy took the time out to be prescient and record some of the things he may have regretted missing. I wonder how this guy felt to see his daughter grow up from 0 to 18. I wonder when I will experience that.”

One is left to wonder what the dad’s graduation surprise for his daughter will be…
