Wait until he learns that nobody cares how smart you are in real life, it’s all about who you know not what you know. 🤷♂️
How Great is our God, give Him the Grace to be Great... continued Success Young Man.

I wanted to do that too, but bullies wouldn't let me. They kept interrupting my education. I couldn't even concentrate at home. I hope he follows his dreams.
