Key to awesomeness: As most parents and teachers know, teaching takes a lot of patience. This can be especially true when it comes to younger siblings, but Nevin didn't let that stop him. He gave his 7-year-old brother clear instructions on snowboarding and stayed with him until he got the hang of it. Nevin used positive reinforcement and never lost his patience. Sometimes the unsung heroes are the ones who help others to be great. Well done, Nevin! You've earned our spot as Whiz Kid of the week.
