[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1385915, member: 25776"] Addressed to Jogeephus: Specifics: 1. Guidance: provided guidance to foster confidence and healthy self-esteem. 2. Participated in school events that promoted education. Such as week-end laboratory studies sponsored by Clint's advanced biology high school teacher who took a special interest in Clint. 3. Constructed a well equipped laboratory in the basement that included a professional oil emersion microscope. 4. Intelligence- at an early age we got feedback from Clint's teachers that he read at 3 to 4 grades above his level. He read the book [b]The Hot Zone [/b]about the ebola virus when he was in the fourth grade. 5. I spent time with Clint. We were buddies. I treated him as an equal. He enjoyed information about the world around him. 7. Discipline - I insisted that learning be a priority. He was permitted to play with electronic devices. 8. Responsibility- he was required that personal obligation have to be fullfilled. Going to bed, getting up, being on time, treating others with respect, etc. 9. Honesty - the rule was, a lie gets you punishment; a full confession forgives the trespass. 10. We set a lifestyle example as you say. 11. Yes, Jo. I never pushed him in any direction. Which affected my hobbies and passions. I was an avid hunter. It did not fit his style. I shot a porcupine that was eating my trees. When I came back in the house, he was crying. He said he watched that porcupine every night and he did not want it killed. I never shot another one. I gradually hunted less and less. Preferring to spend time with Clint. When he started asking questions about religion, I was honest in confessing that I believe the Universe is a natural phenomenon. I told him he should read the Bible or any other religious doctrine and decide for himself. At this moment, I cannot describe exactly what his spiritual beliefs are. If he told me he is a Hindu, it would not be my business or concern. 12. In high school, a family friend who was a medical doctor mentored Clint. He shadowed the Doctor. It had a dramatic impact on Clint. Clint was unsettled by some of the problems small children go through. Jo, I agree that my first response does sound racist. That was not my intention. My intent was to demonstrate that much of what we are is defined by our ancestors. [/QUOTE]
