Congrats on each of you having your own computer!
Now, back to grooming you.
For what?
What's that?
How we define success varies from community to community. I don't want to answer that for now - I'm hoping to take you on a journey where you can discover it for yourself.
Yes, I know you've already tasted it!
But, I want to teach you to be successful on purpose rather than accidentally.
First a comment about Wikipedia.org. I'm a fan and occasionally even send them money. Obviously, Wikipedia.org is written by people (as are all resources - even those in print), but it is unique in that it is easily editable by many people. When something is easy to change, there are more opportunities for it to have errors from both "well-meaning-yet-factually-impaired folk" and "defiant-because-I-can rebels".
Use it for what it is - a great collaborative effort to offer a basic understanding of numerous interests that can springboard you to more authoritative sites through its many links.
The first book I read about ADHD compared people who legitimately struggle with it to Niagra Falls.
We've talked about this a bunch. What do you remember about what I've taught you? Go find a new-to-you fact about Niagra River and Falls and expand the analogy.
PS. The first commenter has it easier than the last... Figure out why?
GAMBATTE!

I love you mother
