I was a jackass child. Too arrogant for my own good.
I remember figuring out how to go from the number one, to a hundred, before knowing the names of the numbers. This was before I set foot in a school. I was ahead of the game before I was ever in the game.
I could have benefited from a school for the gifted, but my dad was having a lot of medical problems, so we couldn't afford anything. So I have a lot of resentment towards the education system.
It became a game, where I would figure out how much I could slack off and still get an A in a class. Senior year in HS, I didn't show up for an entire month, and there were no repercussions.
Our whole education system is pathetic. Access to the internet has humbled me quite a lot, but I see a lot of young people with the same problems that I had.
Hmm, I guess I'm still pretty ticked off.
