Grace loves movies. She watches them over and over until she can memorize the story, the personalities, and even the lines. We play this unnamed game where I describe a Disney movie with something extremely vague and she can usually guess it on the first try. She is very smart. People have said that she is not very intelligent, not very likely to succeed; I don’t believe that. When Grade has a passion for something it is very easy for her not only to remember it, but also to apply it in a sophisticated manner.  Grace is clever, she just has to be be motivated to learn.
