[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 533037, member: 2196"] It's funny you should mention engineer. One of his former elementary school teachers used to call him her future engineer. He is so smart at everything. Problem right now is he is failing a few classes because he simply can't focus long enough to complete the classwork. He is usually caught staring out the window and biting his nails. He is an absolute math wiz so even though he doesn't pay attention he still gets A's in that class because he figures it out for himself. It's a good thing, too, because I cannot understand most of the math he brings home. I am so used to my job having to communicate so openly every day. I talk to people all day long. I communicate with my students, other teachers, staff members, and parents and I love it. I was a shy child but working really made me come out of my shell, and now I can't imagine having a job just sitting at a computer all day talking to no one. I have to remember that difficult child is not me. His personality is different and he is not the social butterfly that his sister and I are. There's nothing wrong with it, I suppose. As long as he holds down a job and functions okay in day to day life then that's all that's important. [/QUOTE]
