Ha!<br /><br />Adriana - I would love that person-to-person talk. Wish we weren't so far apart! I loved reading your perspective.

I sometimes remind myself that we do (in the scriptures and in talks given by general authorities), but my imperfect natures tends to override their wisdom. <br />My parents were educated engineers with good jobs, but my dad envisioned Mexico not being the best place for his children.

She kicks against most of what I encourage her to do, but then when she gets into things - none of what I ever suggest - she's into them. like her horse magazine she's writing and her plays and ways to raise money to put on these plays. And best of all , the Bucket List she's been working on. hilarious.

I bought mine in school by getting my work done fast. I had gobs of free time in and out of school, and I used it really well. <br /><br />Really well? That's my own assessment. I didn't practice my violin but I did make my own clothes. I did do my homework (which we didn't have, except Peg Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045192551906290398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440237202047243579.post-66763151539303563792011-04-27T11:05:15.513-07:002011-04-27T11:05:15.513-07:00Eldest daughters seem to be that way.

And it's such a hard trait to encourage positively without it turning negative, sometimes!

That will help them to keep learning all the way until they leave this earth. Thank goodness learning never ends and I know more now than I did when I graduated high school! And I am SO happy I will keep learning until the dayMandaMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17511402868161964991noreply@blogger.com
