They have a degree of confidence and maturity surpassing that of many “normal” kids. And that is something you cannot put a price on. Today, I find myself in Belize with both of my sons tucked away in boarding schools. Our younger son is doing very well as a senior at the Hargrave Military Academy, and Brandon is enjoying the busy life of a student at Riverview. It is during such quiet times that I realize that the life and experiences they have had will make them strong, confi- dent and successful men. It is my hope and prayer that other Foreign Service families find similar experiences for their special needs children.
