I'm not saying your dad is right, nor am I saying that how he says it is right, but a BIG part of wisdom and knowledge is experiance. At a young age you can only get so smart, books only take you so far. I'm not saying you aren't smart, because God made me intelligent compared to my peers, but I am saying that a lot of knowledge comes from experiance. We need to learn from our elders.

mmm.. I can agree with you about the experience.. but by his dad doing that to his son, shutting him down, just shows that he ain't so smart himself.. Knowledge maybe, but not by wisdom. There are always people out there learning things for a good amount of years, they end up being very knowledgeable. But sometimes they aren't wise.. So I agree with the respecting our elders, but in most cases? Definitely not learning from them.. Unless they are wise themselves.. Which in this case, his dad doesn't seem understanding about his son's capability of learning and adapting things quick.
Well, mine is not what I do but what I want to do! 
I hope one day to be an assistant for the blind. I think that they would have so much to teach me, as they never judge others by appearance. It would be an enriching experience. ^_^

I want to be a doctor and help sick kids someday.
In my life right now, though, I want to so something huge for the Lord. I feel like our culture, and even my church at times, discourages teens from following the dreams God has placed in their hearts and thinking outside ourselves to the great needs in this world. It's so easy to become complacent and try to satisfy ourselves with friends or technology or material possessions. It's scary to do something outside of your comfort zone, but I know I've let fear hold me back from doing things in the past.
I'm ready to change. I want to walk by faith, and find out God's exciting plan for me! We can do great things for Him, even while we're still teens.
