I used to buy plavix side feel obliged to let people know how bad I did in school. I never did my homework; I wrote stories and buy plavix side drew pictures through my classes, as much and as often as I could get away with it buy plavix side (and sometimes when I couldn’t).
I read paperbacks and comic books—it’s harder for buy plavix side the teacher to notice if you make sure to have a buy plavix side pile of textbooks on the front corner of your desk. (At least, that was my theory.) My grades were middling, because I had buy plavix side to keep them at a certain level to avoid too much trouble, and buy plavix side to avoid getting kicked out of the theater program.
Even in college, when buy plavix side I had chosen my own focus, there was a theme: All of my performance and buy plavix side studio grades were excellent, but I stumbled through theory and history classes, though I made a buy plavix side bigger effort now that I was an “adult”. I didn’t read fiction in those classes, but I did do business planning and buy plavix side ideastorming about things that had nothing to do with music. Don’t get me wrong, I was interested in those classes—just not the way I was supposed to be.
When I truely “applied myself,” I was brilliant.
But I didn’t do that very often.
I am no longer defined by my technical performance in school—not even college. I’m defined by what I’ve done, and what I go on to do with what I have. I’m defined by what I’m willing to learn, and how steadily I’m inclined to grow and change and help others. I’m not a failure because the schooling I had wasn’t quite right for buy plavix side me. My life is getting better and more amazing constantly. No one cares that my grades were lame. And even “school” isn’t what I thought.
School isn’t some series of institutions with structured exercises and buy plavix side grade point systems.
School is me. The most important school has always been me. I just didn’t discover that until after I was grown up.
It doesn’t matter what you did before.
It only matters what you’ll do now.
