Child Grows up, Succeeds in Goals Teacher said were "unrealistic"

My son had terrible problems in school. As a single mom I spent a lot of money getting him tested and for special tutoring. I knew he was brilliant but the teachers called him lazy and stupid. I was told by one principal that I was overprotective.

He hated to go to school and became physically ill when test time came around. I took many classes myself and did research into brain studies so I could work with him at home. He use to tell me he wished the teachers treated he and his friends that way.

One week a teacher called me in and said that David had his heart set on being in special forces in the military and he set his goals too high. He said I needed to get him more realistic. After I peeled him off the wall, I informed him that I better never hear of him telling these very special human beings to lower their standards.

We moved to New Jersey shortly after and I found Charlotte Foster who spent a week with David using the Davis program. He improve significantly. The rest is history as they say.

Long story short my son is now a team leader in the special forces for the Marines and is studying to be a medic. He just informed me he plans to finish college and perhaps become an orthopedic surgeon.

He still wants me to start a foundation to help kids like him and some day I plan to do just that.
