From when I was 6?

I was in the stands and thos two planes crashed a long way from us.

But, New that I think of it, I did skid forty feet on the right side of my face after hitting the front brakes on my New bike.

Missed 1st grade from September til January.

When I showed up I was a real irritant to my teacher.

My Mom taught me how to read and write before I started kindergarten.

The teacher had us reading some Jack played with a ball story and my Dad had given me a book “Lightfoot the Deer”.

Jack and his ball didn’t seem interesting after that but, what got me sent to the Principal was my argument I had already read the book. I think I wasn’t interested in reading aloud with the class.

So my parents came down and there was a meeting. The teacher insisted I read the book, I insisted already had.

So I was asked to repeat what I know and I did.

My parents told the teacher they understood her position but, wanted to demonstrate I wasn’t lying.

They handed me the newspaper of the day and asked I read it. So I did.

They then asked me to some multipication/division no pencil or paper.

The teacher wanted to know how I could do that.

I don’t recall the rest but, I can tell you that experience and my further experience in the school system prove that when the parents are involved children excell.

I ended up in some advanced class after that in every grade up to 9th.

Don’t know what the point was. I didn’t get ousted into college or anything.
But, I did leave high school in the 10th grade for college.

The point is, where parents can support you, it is very possible to excel.

When they don’t you become an exception and extraoridinary .

My parents never judged me and always said it was okay to fall down.

Fall down a thousand times if you must but, if something is important to you then never, ever quit.

It the quiter who has defeated himself.

It the man of living who looks for New challenges,
Passions and interests.

Live it up baby! No one gets out of this thing alive....
