Our daughters could read so we started going to the library with them to have them check out peculiar books they were interested in.
We would have them write book reports when they were done reading each book.
After returning it, they could get another one. We were quite excited when our girl checked out an Heating and A/C history book. She wrote down everything about how the air conditioning was invented to be the first cooling component ever added in a home to modern day Heating plus A/C systems. She seemed to have a drive in her report about Heating and A/C systems. She even wrote about how they have become essential to our way of life, especially in the corporation world. She went on to check out books in the Heating and A/C area of the library because she had developed an interest in the Heating plus A/C industry. Before long, our daughter was telling us her plans to attend a trade school to become an official Heating and A/C specialist. She did get good grades and we were glad we encourage our children to keep reading and studying about things that caught their interest. Our other daughter got into studying acting. She practiced as an actress and took classes to sharpen her skills. So we think she is on her way to becoming a professional actress. We must say, when she is on the stage performing something like the nutcracker, she seems to have a greater passion than all the kids. She also consistently makes sure that they have the ideal temperature control settings in the studio or she won’t be in a great mood.
