In her creative writing assignments for school, she always creates this hook at the beginning of her stories, her characters are well defined and interesting, and I have been really impressed with her little plot lines that twist and turn. But, I accidentally expressed all those things to her. Now she thinks writing is a bore. But that was a while back and everything may have changed today. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me about the being happy part...I may lose my perspective occasionally defending the fact that the sky is blue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-61361706173406464812011-07-14T18:31:41.311-05:002011-07-14T18:31:41.311-05:00let her question...sorrylet her question...sorryJason Brad Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421813599753848735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-47939856281028628792011-07-14T18:31:17.611-05:002011-07-14T18:31:17.611-05:00I suppose success is subjective.

Margaret Mead said the most important thing you can do in a child's education is to teach him/her to be curious...question everything especially the status quo. I don't know what your 13 year old may become but if he is an independent thinker and challenging the common perception I can pretty much guarantee you she will live a full life.Jason Brad Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421813599753848735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-70950473837006256182011-07-14T08:50:33.315-05:002011-07-14T08:50:33.315-05:00Been missing your perspective...

And thought I would let you know that your little story about your teacher helped give me a little perspective on my very, very contrary 13-year-old ho feels the need to argue every point that comes from my mouth.
