T.J. : How was my grammar and vocabulary as a child?  Did you have to correct me often?

Mom : You spoke very well for your age.  You were always conscious of getting things right.  Of course you made common mistakes such as saying “buyed” instead of “bought” however you were always trying to make the adjustment when I corrected you, and get it right the next time. 

 

T.J. :  When did I first learn to read? Was I a fast learner or did I struggle?

Mom: You learned to read in the beginning of kindergarten.  You were one of the first in your class to learn how to read.  You read all of you birthday cards for your 6^th birthday on your own.  You picked it up pretty quickly. 

 

T.J. : Did I ever complain to you about having to go to school or did I enjoy it for the most part?

Mom: No I never heard that complaint come from you.  You loved school, especially when you were younger. 

 

T.J.: What were my study habits like?  Did I procrastinate?  Did I need certain situations to maximize my studying efficiency?

Mom: Early on, you did your best when you would do your homework directly after school.  However, as you got older and learned to manage your time better you liked to do your work after dinnertime.  You did not begin to procrastinate until you were older, and I think you actually enjoyed the pressure, which is why you did it.  You seemed to be most efficient when I left you to do it on your own time and didn’t push you.  You would also like us to quiz you using flash cards or asking you questions from the textbook to help you review what you had just studied. 

 

T.J: What career field do you see me involved with in the future?

Mom: I could see you involved with something with athletics.  Anywhere from high school to college or even higher, I see you being there.  Whether it be as a coach or an ad or being part of an organization.  Although I could also see you being happy working in some type of community setting. 

 

T.J.:  In what ways did I progress as you would have expected? In what ways did I surprise you?

Mom: You always got good grades and worked hard.  You always surprised me with your ability to take on so many different activities and still manage your time and get things done at the quality level that you did. 

 

T.J.: Thanks Mom, Love You.

Mom: Your Welcome, Love You Too.
