A Father's Brag

We knew from a young age that Scott was smart. What took others multiple repetitions to learn, Scott always got on the first go. He learned quickly and he forgot nothing. His mother and I enjoyed watching the Jeopardy TV show with him and were consistently stunned at how many of the questions he knew answers to. If we didn't teach him, we reasoned, how could he have learned it? It killed me when Scott was selected to pitch for his high school varsity baseball team. Despite how much fun it would have been for me as his dad, Scott passed telling the coach that he wanted to make sure he had enough time for his studies. Despite my desire to see him on the mound, there was no arguing with his logic. Scott has known he wanted to study Neuroscience before many determined if they would even go to college. While neither parent can offer any scientific support, we couldn't be more proudof what he has accomplished and look forward to what's next for our brain doctor.
