I was just searching Amazon last night for some biographies of astronauts, etc. I am really getting tired of reading books that are just crammed with "space shuttle facts," etc., and I would really like to read some books that are more fluid and that tell a story.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, plenty of people chuckle at Ezra's dream, and I do, too, but only because I know he might change his mind (though I'm starting to think there's NO WAY he will!), but I don't know if anyone but his parents realize that it really could happen. He's already got some contacts!Los Pyefeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414150517722472821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792632442488988050.post-44109501278970850372008-11-19T06:56:00.000-08:002008-11-19T06:56:00.000-08:00Isn't it great to actually BELIEVE in your kids?

I mean, the average parent might say "That's nice.." to their son's dream of being a 15 yr old working for NASA.. but, US.. we can look beyond that as a dream and realize it as potential. Something that could really happen.. something that has worth and value.. not just a passing fancy... we can take our kids' seriously, and BELIEVE in them. I feel pity for those fools who do not. They limit their lives and their kids lives to mediocrity by stifling dreams and ignoring that reality has limitless potential. You may introduce your son to some material about the life of Gene Shoemaker. Before folks went to the moon, he decided that he wanted to be the first sent to the moon. So, he thought "What kind of scientist would they have to send?" He decided that they'd have to send a geologist, to study the rocks. He became a geologist and was in the running, but a physical health problem kept him on Earth. However, he spent his life dedicated to studying meteors and comets.. discovered many meteor craters, and discovered many comets, mapped them in space. and when he died, his ashes were shot into space.New Unschoolerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777297071125741594noreply@blogger.com
