The first Lady Michelle Obama is an advocate of healthy children. The intensive classes take away gym and does not give the child free time to collect their thoughts and exercise their body as well as their minds.

I have been to places many will never get to go, and enjoyed so many more things than I would have ever dreamed possible. But alas for the last 24 years have been a baptist pastor of a small church in indiana. It would have been wonderful if I had gotten to do more things I wanted to do, but next week I'll be having heart surgery for a second time. my only concern at this moment at 3 am is my dear wife and children and grandchildren and thier success.one thing I do know is that if you REALLY want something you can get it, with or without music class OR math class(they help). I am very successful in other areas I never imagined. 3 homes, 1 wife of 36 years and 2 sons and daughter-in-laws and 5 grands. cant think of anything more i needAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
