Patience
How do I learn?
      Some things just come naturally, but
some things never turn my way when I need them to.
      God, how long does it last?
Slow. Slow. Slowly time barely passes.
      Sometimes when I’m not looking I swear it stops.
Like a rock.
How do I learn?
      Please teach me,
so I can turn time from a rock,
      into a free flowing mountain river on a hot day.
That’s how I learn!
      Like honey, may the sweet flow of the river last,
So I can get past,
      this rock of a class.

According to a parent

"I kept hearing about this Odyssey program, so I decided to come in and see it for myself.  It's good.  It teaches the student patience.  That's what my girl needs.  She's quick to learn and remember what you tell her, so she does fine with the lectures.  But she rushes through the computer work.  I think it's just fine that she got a poor grade on Odyssey in the beginning of the year.  Now she has to realize that she can't guess or just scan the reading and then do the test.  This is good."
