In class I was out of place because I could so easily be distracted from concepts by metaphors and facts. Clearly, I was less intelligent than I had hoped, and I felt frustrated by an inarticulate notion that something was wrong if old material was processed as if the immediate past and the uncertain future had no bearing on it.Anonymous
About This Quote
I am smart enough to know that I am less intelligent than my peers, but I choose to work my hardest, believing that one day I will improve. When I feel like the material is getting too old for me, I decide to make notes instead of thinking. The ideas are always fresh in my head because I write them down.
