I’d say I was smart, but not genius. I did have a mom that read to us constantly from before we were born. And I think with Simon it’s an excellent idea not to let him get hung up on grades, because he will obsess. As your mom said, he pressures himself more than anyone else can. I’d also argue the lit vs. chemistry argument–I know people for who chemistry is much easier that literature. It seems easier to us because we are wired that way, but my brother and cousin Chris certainly aren’t and would far rather take a chem test than write a paper.

He is his own incentive. G-d! He is just like his Uncle Steve.
