From the time I started school, it was clear to everyone that I wasn't learning at the same pace as other kids.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
School seemed unimportant, since I learned so much more on my own.
I didn't get trained by the school system like other kids, and when I did concentrate on learning, my mind was cluttered and locked by the programming of the system.
I started the class late. The teacher said I would have to learn as much in half a year that the others learned in a year. I did it.
I was always good at math, but I was good at everything. It sounds obnoxious, but I was just smart. In school, it's kind of obvious when you're learning things faster than other kids.
Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble.
I was in high school, trying to get out of high school. The only thing slowing me up was grades.
In the fifth grade I discovered something I could do better than the other kids. One day, the teacher set up a bunch of chairs, and she had everyone run to the chairs and back while she timed us. I had the fastest time in the whole school!
I feel like you learn how to do school in second grade through fifth grade. During those years, I was never home.
In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.
I know kids are supposed to go through these awkward stages, but I just never even thought about that. I was too busy worrying about getting my education while I was working.
