    Have your ever notice that when someone is grateful, they become attached to you in a relationship of thankfulness and gratitude? It happens a lot among these boys.

    I hope you enjoy this story. They say you can pick the numbers by using statistics. Never worked for me.

    I drove back to my apartment, showered, shaved, and got dressed more or less for the day. There was a message on my phone to call my advisor. As I was leaving, I called him. He congratulated me on being the first Ph.D. awarded by the college. I thanked him and said I appreciated all of his help, “I knew it wasn’t easy to convince them.” “Actually, it wasn’t me that convince them you were on the right track. When several of the teachers, students, and parents that you have helped sent them p

    They say that o get to running when you haven't for a while. start walking. Walk at a comfortable pace and then when you are comfoirateble with that, step up the pace. Running is okay but walking is just as good, at the right pace and the amount of time you walk.

    Boys have a strong influence in a teens life, but you already know that. If they think something isn't manly they will tease the other and I'm always surprised how much pain they will put up with because they want to be macho in the eyes of their peers. And you're right, good coach has his athletes welfare to be considered.

    The bond between Adam and Bill senior was formed in High school. Now he is building a bond with Billy and I'll bet he will be dragging his dad into it as well.

    I also imagined he had an excellent education. You are fortunate, or should I say he was fortunate.

    That is bad. Reminds me of college when they had seminars which were in a special room that seated close to 100. You sat there and listened. Took notes and that was it. If you had a problem, you had to schedule a one on one with the prof. I bet the larger classes is a result of not enough teachers or someone is complaining about the cost of education. I hope you don't have anyone involved in that school, if you do, expect hiring a tutor.

    “Adam, are you going to teach teachers to do what you do?” “Sure there’s no magic. Two points, the first point is to get to know the student and the second point is to find out what turns her or him on. I think I told you about the high school football player that could remember intricate plays but couldn’t remember algebra. I just explained it in terms of football and he grasped it quite quickly. He is now an assistant coach at his high school. I bet you all could do it. Who has student te

    It is sad, and she was right, there are three groups and one group is lost. A class of 40 is to large. Again, those who can make the change are as bull headed as the prof's who listened to Adam's thesis.

    Adam will fight for what he believes in, he will fight for the children. I have a feeling we will see that again.

    You will always love my Adam. What you experienced is exactly what Adam is fighting for.

    So true. There was a boy in my class that approach problems differently , people would laugh. He went on and something clicked for him and he got a doctorate in education.

    I agree 100 percent. It seems that there are always someone who doesn't want progress. They don't want to rattle the cage but that is how progress is accomplished. Adam will prove that

    I'm not sure if the European educational system is better than the American system. I would like to marke a comparison but I only know the American system.

    Chapter 5

    I did select the school Mom suggested. It took me the first year to select a major but I decided to be a teacher. Not in the sense of a normal teacher but one that dealt with students who had a difficult time grasping concepts as they were taught from a strict teaching position. When I talked to my advisor about this he tried to tell me it’d be frustrating and I’d burn out. Then I told him about Jerry, Dan, and Emory. I think he then understood where I was headed. He supported me, even had me vi
