Sweet Cheeks

My sister, the social worker, works with at risk elementary students. She's quite patient and loving, but firm when needed. She told me about one of her students whom she affectionately calls Sweet Cheeks. He's eight and a handful.

Sweet Cheeks loves attention and can't sit still which probably describes most students. Sissie and I were chatting about his issues. We discussed ways to motivate and reward him. I received a message from spirit about his passion and admiration for the actor Will Smith.

I found a Will Smith biography and wrapped it in snowman paper. I gave it to my sister for Christmas. She in turn gifted it to Sweet Cheeks who jumped up and down and said, "He's my favorite, how did you know?"
