...after our own schoolwork as a matter of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as well, which enabled them to reach their own intellectual bests.

its important to study hard in life to become successful

...I have done multiple subjects, including math, science, English and Social Studies. I have also worked in high school special education classes, where I worked very closely with some of the students.
