I like the way you think. A "problem" is only problematic if you let it be so. That is one of the major differences between children and adults. Oftentimes, children with "disabilities" will not let themselves be held back, yet an adult will think of themselves as disabled, and act accordingly.
As a related aside, I just started an excellent new book that is very inspirational: Neil Cavuto's More Than Money: True Stories of People Who Learned Life's Ultimate Lesson.
True, because I can remember as a child, I never wanted to be held back. I wanted to do the things my classmates did, and my parents tried to hold me back, not because they didn't want me to partcipate equally among my peers, but because they were just looking out for me. Many teens are rebellious. I spent most of my childhood being rebellious. LOL I stopped rebelling when I was old enough to understand the reasons why.
