When my son is in college he was working for a nationwide bank - and also had his own column writing for a car magazine! His writing was so "beautiful" that he would make people that could care less about cars take notice!
He and my daughter are both very talented and gifted writers! For this reason, I was both shocked and also impressed when my son told me that he wanted me to help him with his vocabulary, (as I had done when he was very young)!
Even though he is working daily on his education and held a good job with the bank, he still saw the need to continue to improve himself! He said . . .
"I want to sound smarter!"
I was elated over this!
I developed a plan with him where I would send him 2-3 words daily via email and give him the definition and then he would have to write 2-3 variations of sentences for each word. It was great FUN for both of us. We laughed at the funny sentences and I was also very impressed with his very serious side of writing as well.
It was a delightful education for him and I enjoyed it immensely!
VERY IMPORTANT! Even with his attending college and working in the most professional environment with other professionals coming in and offering him employment opportunities - he still knew the need to continue to improve himself (his image) - for his continued success!
