I love it! Only problem with her plan is that will he have learned to be self-motivated enough to keep his career momentum going? With her as his mate, he'll at least get a boost now and then.

Well. that sounds like you. )) And still no glasses. How do you read through a dozen libraries and still no glasses? Cute pic ))
A lovely story! Very true about all those scholarships just waiting to be found.
And, yeah, I hear Cal Tech has a pretty decent physics program too.😂

Some one said. “Behind every successful man there’s a woman.” You proved that in this story.
Dairy Queen? Peanut-Busters? Now you're talking. Mina is pretty sharp. Lucky for Jackson!
I love your uplifting stories… this one is a winner.
Love stories like this. And you did a wonderful job with these young voices! Thank you for sharing. Nice to see your face today, too!

Hi Sharron, What a great story. It brings back so many memories. I was 12 when I met Dan and he was always the one. I love your new picture.
Good one, Sharron. It proves my theory that the smartest thing a man can do is find a smart woman and then listen to her. Love the new picture!
Made me think of all the ‘what if’s’ and a reminder of encouraging and sharing information of opportunities.
What an optimistic piece! Wish everyone’s hidden talent is discovered soon enough!
Something is telling me Ms. Bassano would have been one of my favorite teachers. What a great picture of you!
He could steal her heart with some WD-40 and some 00 steel wool.
Oh wow, I'm duly revivified, Sharron! That last paragraph is EVERYTHING!!!!
Loved this part too, of course - it made my heart shout 'you GO, girl!!!!!' ⬇️
"I asked myself, ‘Mina what’s the worst thing that could happen?’ and then I thought, what the fuck? I don’t care. I just like you.”
