He was also, like many of us, he hated going to school. It wasn't until he got the hang of it that he started to enjoy going. He started to notice that math was starting to make sense and that geography was not just colors on a map but real places. His parents were starting to notice how smart he was and they thought that maybe he was to smart for the 6th grade so they moved him to 7th grade which turned out to be a bad idea because that is when he started to hate school and it was soon after that, that at the age of 14 he would drop out of school.

John’s father had just died of a heart attack, and his mother felt unable to cope with a small child who was already getting into trouble. The only way open for this mother was to place the son she loved in a more safe and structured environment. It was rough at the orphanage but John learned to survive and even thrive.
This was Emerson’s first lesson in self-reliance as he witnessed his mother raise six children on her own while living off solely a small stipend from the church and an additional income from taking boarders into their home (Huff, vol. 1). Further influences to his self-reliance came from his ability to identify and then transcend the many tragedies in his own life including his family’s poverty, the premature death of his siblings, and the later premature death of one of his own children.

My son was only two at the time so he did not understand that grandma went to heaven and what it meant. Until this day all three of my kids point at a picture that I have on my end table of grandma Dean and says “that is grandma Dean she is in heaven I miss her.” Even though the other two kids did not met her my oldest son Bryce told them memorize that he remember about her and how sweet of a person she was. He made sure that he told them about her that way they knew who grandma Dean was. I loved my grandmother with all my heart and I miss her dearly every day. My grandmother was everything to me and she will always hold that special piece of my heart.
