    Yeah I was high performing, best test taker in our graduating class, highest act score, one of the lowest gpas… I got called lazy a lot. But that never made sense to me because I was incredibly passionate about things and would toil away for weeks on some project, but you couldn’t make me care about homework, you couldn’t make me listen to a lecture, you couldn’t stop me from sleeping in class, and neither could I. It did make me feel very different from my peers.
