Proud wife! This is an email from my husband to my kids... Here is a quote from Sal Khan, who created the Khan Academy website. This website is important because it helps people all over the world who dont have access to schools or traditional education to teach themselves the basic things people need to know to be productive members of society. Some people believe that intellectual ability is purely genetic or fixed.This is a myth. Research now shows that your brain is like a muscle; the more you apply it and struggle, the more it grows. People who learn to recognize this fact about their own brain develop a ‘growth mindset’ and are able to persevere and achieve more. I think this is a very important point. We should all exercise our brains, make our brains struggle, make them stronger like any other muscle in our body. Dont be afraid to try hard problems. Dont be afraid to push your brain and think complex and challenging thoughts. In the end you will be a better person for it. Work hard to make your brain strong! Love Dad
