Five year olds also are very interested in what their body can do and are very curious about how they can use it.

either ADD or ADHD, with parental consent of course. After testing the child is deemed to be ADD and has to be placed into a classroom where he cannot be a distraction. Can you imagine being placed into a remedial class for being hyper on day of the year? So now the boy is learning at a slower pace than his friends are and by the time he reaches fifth grade the administration decides to retest him.

Education begins before stepping foot into a classroom— it happens everywhere. I have been playing volleyball since I was in fourth grade, and I learn everyday from that sport.

I aspire to be the best person I can be, someone that I can proud of when I look back and be able to say “I overcame my obstacles”. My ultimate goal isn’t to be wealthy, or famous, or even have a family. It’s to be happy and satisfied with my life. However, I do have practical goals. For example, ever since I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a pediatrician when I grew up. At that time, I called a pediatrician a “baby doctor”, but people knew what I meant and I eventually learned the actual term
