Abstract
A December tradition in many families is to make a wish list of the presents we want to receive for the holidays. As a child I remember taking my list quite seriously. Should I ask for a softball mitt or basketball? A guitar or new books? Our family was large, and I did not want to appear greedy. My parents, however, knew that most of the items on my wish list were linked to facilitating the growth and development of my talents. There was no guarantee I’d get everything I wanted, but no shame in asking either. And I’ve learned over the years that asking can be essential to having one’s needs met.
