One of Esh's many gifts is the ability to make friends. People just love him! (Gravity and I must have done it all correctly!) Every time we talk with him over the phone, he tells us delightful tales of adventure and fun. He and several of his friends are applying to Brown Residence College at UVA. It is like a college within a university. It is limited to only 300 students so the process is very selective; but Esh already has Friends who live at Brown and they are encouraging him to apply.One interesting thing about Esh's friends is that they cover the complete scope of grades at UVA; and they include boys and girls. When Esh was in HS his guidance counselor once told me that everyone liked Esh. She said this was unusual with gifted kids as they often act as if they were entitled to treat others badly because they were bright. Well, Esh keep up the good work! And good luck getting into Brown Residence College!
