well, it's funny...if i put all three of them together, i'd have some sort of sick super genius. kelly is good at reading, writing, has an awesome vocabulary, and has been in band since 6th grade-she can play any brass instrument you throw at her. thank god, it's helping pay her way thru college. but she's horrid at math-she managed a 25 on her act-so between her academic and band, a full free ride for college in the fall. phew.
mark, excellent at math, physics....can't spell for sh!t, and hated english. writing essays kills him. no music at all...i think he got a 21 on his act, only took it one time, but got a killer asvab score (military test) and did very well on the nuke test.
eric is the most well-rounded, but his english is still his weakest point, but better than mark...but his arts/literature score-11. ugh. he's the only one of the three that barely touches a book. but i did get him to read some of my bernard cornwell books, so that's something.
