Event horizon

Dylan,

There's been a lot of angst recently about where to continue your education when you're done with this third year at SJM. We've gotten you enrolled (through no small effort) in a public elementary that's about as highly regarded as they come, but at this point we are still considering other options. What matters to us is that your intense love of learning and appetite for absorbing information are fostered, not squelched.

I commented to you at lunch today when you made a reference to attending said public school next year that if Mom and I found a school that was even better for you we would send you there instead. I asked you if you'd rather go to the public school (which I'm deliberately not naming here) or to the best school for Dylan, you replied: "I want to go to the school that will help me win a Nobel Prize".

...

The quickness and casual resoluteness of your response was jaw-dropping. Especially since neither Mom nor I had any awareness that you even knew about Nobel prizes.

I promise I'll do my best to find you that school.
