Now this is a wish I can really get behind…
February 4th, 2008
Something about this wish just struck me as awesome. Thanks to some great community members, the wish has already been granted. If it wasn’t, I’d tell everyone to vote for it or risk the wrath of The Blue. What sets this wish apart from other wishes? I’m not sure exactly, but I do know I’m excited to hear about Justin’s progress in school. Findingmyfriends, keep us posted as to how the headphone experiment goes!
Justin to be the next Einstein
Justin has a very hard time blocking out noises around him. He works much better when it is completely silent. In school, there are 20 other students. At home, there’s a little brother and a very loud big sister. He is extremely intelligent, but isn’t able to accomplish the smallest school assignments because of the noises.I found some headphones online that are called noise-cancelling headphones. They block out ALL noises. He can wear these while doing homework, he can wear these when he is having a meltdown and just needs quiet time, he can wear these when he reads a book (which he loves to do). They range anywhere from $30.00 up to $200.00. I feel sure I can find him a good pair for under $50.00 (shipping costs included). If this wish wins and I find some cheaper, I will use any left over and let him purchase a good astronomy book.
This wish is very important to me and Justin. I feel terrible that I don’t have the extra money to just go buy these. We are still playing catch up from David being laid off and I don’t see an end in sight anytime soon.

I made a thread for everyone. Justin has his headphones and he loves them. I asked him if the white noise bothered him and he said no. He said the white noise is MUCH better than his sister’s yapping, LOL. He is using them at school and he says they help a lot.
