Loved your story.
I can relate in my own way. Maybe you will appreciate a different version of the same issue.
Unlike yourself I was always an honor student and top in my class as a general rule. Even in University I was on the honor roll and top 10% of the class.
However, that doesn't mean it was smooth sailing.
While some of my friends had given me the nickname "the human calculator" there was one calculation worksheet that had a few questions I just couldn't wrap my head around. I spent hours working on them and everytime the answer came out wrong. After 4 or 5 hours of frustration I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. It was incredibly frustrating but once I figured it out it was locked into my memory for life never to be forgotten.
Many things that come easy as just as easily forgotten over time.
However, the things that you truly had to work hard for....those lessons you never forget.
Thanks for writing. Really appreciated it.
