The Boy Who Loved Boats

the boy who loved boatsThe Boy Who Loved Boats – Aaron loved boats, it was all he could think of. His parents appreciated his love of boats, but also wanted him to love his studies. A story based on the simple premise of love, a child’s love for boats, and parent’s love for their child, resulting in a simple yet powerful solution. When we do what we love and follow our heart, we are bound to do it well, and if we follow our heart we can more easily get through all the things we don’t like doing too, with joy.
