PROMISE’s founder is Sue Wagner, a Korean American mom, understands all too well the importance of nurturing children in a timely manner, having raised three boys herself. When her first son was born, she was able to devote much of her time to him. She read him books after books, played games, solved puzzles with him starting when he was only 2 years old. Her effort was continued until her first son entered kindergarten. Learning came very easy for him; he absorbed things like a sponge and completed his school work with honors. Eventually, her son achieved perfect scores on the SAT I & II and was chosen as a recipient of the Presidential Scholar Award in 1998 from President Bill Clinton.
			However, Mrs. Wagner also understands the difficult side of raising children as a working mother. After her first son entered elementary school, she opted to pursue a career and soon became very busy. Consequently, she was not able to pay as much attention to her younger children or to meet their emotional needs during their early years. Reading books to her younger kids, taking them to children’s story hours at the library, paying attention to their curious nature, etc. were greatly diminished because of her busy schedule. They too grew up and went off to schools, but, unlike their older brother, the younger kids had a much harder time focusing on their school work. Neither intellectual curiosity nor good work habits was adequately developed, and this led both to struggle with their school work.
