56. Something You Did As A Child That People Remember You For?

56. Something you did as a child that people remember you for?

Get good grades. In third grade, my adopted dad (Wes) tried to make me skip ahead of the class and become the greatest. I didn't understand the concept because we weren't learning our times tables yet and I thought this was unfair. But then he said "If the other parents were smart, they would do the same thing I'm doing."

Smart. That word had finally clicked into my head. So I skipped ahead of the class and that's how everyone in 4th grade and on knew me as a smart kid.

But I'm not smart and here's why:

In 7th grade, I passed with A's, B's, and C's.

In 8th, I got a couple of F's because the teachers were harder. For Algebra 1, I didn't understand anything until like five units later. But I still moved on to Geometry which I am retaking because I went to 3 different schools freshman year.

Also 6th and 7th period sucked because I was in a block. A block is this: If you have the teacher 1st period, you also have him 2nd period. Then it's 3rd/4th and finally 6th/7th. 5th period was his prep.

So for 6th period was History and 7th was Language Arts. He was gone for a good portion of the year. Anyways, he gave out a Daily Events packet each class. That was two a day and it was ridiculous.

But Peanut! How does this tie in to you not being smart?

SMART people get on that rank thing of 3.5-4.0 GPA. I on the other hand, am probably 2.5.

UPDATE: So it turns out I skipped a few numbers in Luna's book (I don't know how) and even (SOMEHOW) uploaded a number 55 twice. Oh well. Stupid glitches.
