		<description>WriterDad,

I forget now what Psych class I had to write  a paper on gifted kids but the point of it was that I don&#039;t really believe in the concept as an isolated group set apart from others..

( and *technically* I have/am raising some of them)

What I mean by that is this. Where someone has a strength, you can look around and you will find they have a deficit somewhere, be it social, academic, artistic, mechanical...and conversly, where there is a deficit look around...cause I will bet you, that person will SHINE in something else.
I think we can all do out best to look for the shining light in everyone...its there.
We are all *gifted* at something.  people just need to take the time to look for it insteed of only celebrating the academicly gifted ones.

		<description>Hey Writer Dad

I&#039;ll be curious how Lucas makes his way through the million different rules and million different lessons.

I&#039;m a fan of helping underdogs and lifting others up.

		<description>Kyddryn:  It is super hard to keep up with eleventy million blogs.  I have exactly the same problem.  I think my blood is fifteen percent caffeine.

Tony:  Thanks Tony.  I appreciate it.

Laurie:  It is flattering that you read it more than once.  I really appreciate it.

Sal:  I love the idea of paying it forward.

Daisy:  I never had a teacher has awesome as you.  I&#039;m glad you&#039;re mine forever.

Chase:  Thanks for the feedback.  I&#039;ll try harder to tune his voice in the future.  I have several with him written, but I&#039;ll keep his voice in mind next time I start fresh.

Vered:  Nope.  It&#039;s all about the hard work.

Marelisa:  As always, very well said, Mare.  You met Lucas once before, I even remember your comment.  It was the day I was talking about Monkeechy, the imaginary flying monkey.

Linda:  Thank you on Lucas&#039;s behalf.

Lance:  Lucas said he&#039;s really excited to come back soon.

B. Wilde:  I love both, but would have to say I love words even more than image (even though we have to use at least a thousand to equal one of the other guys).

Laurie:  Even, but different, and we&#039;re all in it together.</description>

		<description>Lucas, I am a teacher and had to give state tests that the state says everyone has to pass.  While you would have no problem passing them, other students who are not as smart didn&#039;t pass.  These kids are gifted in other areas that the state doesn&#039;t test so it is very difficult to see these kids see themselves as a failure.  I am so glad you see that everyone has different gifts to be valued and being smart is yours.</description>

		<description>You have captured so much in this post about your son.  He will cheerish this one day and thank you for using your talent to describe him and his world at age ten.  It reminds me of a photo, yet I think writing to and about our kids means so much more.  Rather than just capture an image with memories, words given to another are so much more apart of us.  This was touching.

		<description>Writer Dad - thanks for the introduction to Lucas, he is a a very good writer, and fitting words for your site here.

Lucas - use your talents you&#039;ve been given!  Let them shine - always!  We all have talents, gifts per se, that we can share with the world.  Yours are yours and mine are mine.  And they&#039;re probably not the same.  And that&#039;s good - that makes us different and special just the same. Be you, always, Lucas...

&lt;abbr&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lances last blog post..&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jungleoflife.com/2008/11/05/fear-does-it-hold-you-back/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fear:  Does It Hold You Back?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Lucas,

I hope you grow up to be a teacher like WD &amp; Daisy so you can share your ideas with many, many students.  I also hope you become a parent like them so you can instill these values in your own children &amp; grandchildren.

Your poetry is lovely.</description>
