I new there was something about you! ...Hey Jess!<br /><br />I new there was something about you! Hence...(There's something about Jesse)! lol<br /><br />You’ve got what I had but I’m also high functioning! Erin Brockovich has dyslexia! You both have brilliant minds that look outside the square. <br /><br />I know it’s a struggle at school but I’m sure you’ll perfect the skills you need faster when you need them! Your weak spot is your blind spot! It is your hidden and greatest treasure. <br /><br />I think you will always see through obstacles and aim high! “Always be careful Jess” I don’t believe that it’s about your grades as much as it is your passions, dedication and drive! <br /><br />Your book may well be the first book I’d like to try and read because your writing is real, it’s easy to understand and you’re funny! You explain things that some of us may not understand like you under stand at all levels! (The bigger picture) It’s sort of like we know you too and that’s pretty cool!<br /><br />I think you will always make the right decisions, you’ll always focus, be determined, work or fight hard and have the patients at the same time! I think you could take on just about anything in any conditions! I don’t think you will ever fail that easily! (You may look through that)! <br /><br />Check out this site Jess! <br /><br />http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/teenbrain/ <br /><br />Go to inside the teenage brain and then go to the wiring of the adolescent brain! Keep in mind that at age 15-16 you are in about the dead center where this final pruning period is at its peak for all 15-16 year olds. <br /><br />Be safe and alert Jess!<br /><br />Keep your guard up sweetheart!<br /><br />Don't let that school work get to you. Remember if your feeling down, then get back up soldier and shake it off. You're at work now and this quiet period may be as trying as any storm.<br /><br />Keep moving Jess! <br /><br />How proud is the world of you!<br /><br /><br />Billy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-82394904306946569892010-02-07T08:46:45.796+10:002010-02-07T08:46:45.796+10:00A few words to fellow bloggers

Sch...Hello Jessica,<br /><br />thanks for the great picture!<br /><br />Schoolwork...........would only to be to appease the status quo. In my opinion you have learned and are learning more about life, perseverance, waiting for the right moment, success and also the traditional subjects of maths, reading, writing, geography, creative, independent thinking and decision making than most people learn in a life time, let alone school.<br /><br />You also have found your niche, THE occupation you are happiest in. Your sailing around the world is not a pastime, this adventure belongs to your life, to who you are.<br />I doubt, that you could ever be happy in a 'normal' job - 9 to 5, where someone else tells you what to do!<br /><br />You are a free spirit Jessica, you are a powerful woman, who knows her mind, you need elbow room and the world is your oyster.<br /><br />Thanks to the shore team for your excellent update. Not far to the CoGH now.<br />And thanks a million to Bob, weatherman par excellence for steering Jessica away from another severe storm.<br /><br />Wow, 'only' 9000 nm to go to Sydney......and it's getting less with every day!<br /><br />Stay in the moment Jessica, enjoy every second of your experience!<br />I think the excitement of your arrival in Sydney is far greater with our blog family, than it is with you!<br />For you it is part of the journey to arrive at the point you started from!<br /><br />I think of you so often and talk about you, to everyone, always telling them of your fantastic attitude to life and how worthy it is to emulate it.<br /><br />By the way, there is a really good article in this weeks 'WHO' magazine.<br />It is called 'Amazing race' with a lovely photo of you and one of Ella.<br />Underneath is Abby's photo and the article is about not being rivalry between you and the other contenders for youngest round the world.<br />The last lines were your mother's:<br />There's a lot of kindred spirit between adventurers, said Jessica's mother, Julie Watson.<br />'It's all, 'Good on you' and 'All the best'.<br /><br /> And that is what I say too to you:<br /><br />Good on you and all the best,<br />enjoy, keep well, have fun, be kind to yourself and above all be save,<br /><br />much love,<br /><br />Trudy, Austria/AustraliaTrudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519102782185099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-15924811474388318172010-02-07T06:49:05.434+10:002010-02-07T06:49:05.434+10:00Jesse,

So there !!!!<br /> <br />And the fish-hook line and all the crap will slow you down !!<br /> <br />'Homework' is only homework if you go home......???

What a heavy burden God has laid on men!</i></b><br /><br />Good day, Jesse! Great image of you, barefoot. The thought of you "trying to" do that homework brought this verse to mind. In Ecclesiastes, the writer addresses the teacher, and eventually comes to the conclusion that there is nothing new under the sun, and that everything meaningful leads to eternity. That's the focus, the one true focus. God's goodness is perfect, His judgment complete. <br /><br />So anyway, I like the image of you keeping things in perspective out there "trying to" keep up with your homework while you are so immersed in God's creation, cradled in His arms out there. <br /><br />Today is a free day for me -- trapped inside by a snowstorm of historic proportions. But yet, it is nothing compared to what you have seen and experienced out there. It may be days before I can get my tractor out, dig out to the main road, and you can count on me to pray for you daily, for your strength and good health, and your continued progress. I am grateful that you skirted the worst of that large storm to the south.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433355938514487084.post-76487408935282617432010-02-07T06:35:45.793+10:002010-02-07T06:35:45.793+10:00Jessica,
