Got a 3, product of the gifted ed system, with a few other challenges that aren’t counted in ACE, plus a healthy dash of what could be called self-sabotage as I began to make my adult way.

Now, decades later, I’m doing fine, better than fine actually, but relative my fears I am doing unbelievably fantastically. Of course, relative to the sense of limitless potential that the gifted ed system tends to implant, I should have invented cold fusion by now.

I long ago decided that the past was interesting but a terrible place to live. I consciously try hard to look forward and think about what I can do and not about what could have been or what other shadows might be lurking. That’s not advice, it’s just what I’ve done.
