    It’s funny because I was one of those in school who always said, “I’ll never NEVER use this stuff in my real job!” How wrong I was. And I wasn’t terrible, I got good grades in math but it’s never been my strongest subject. However it does come in quite handy in real life.

      I was one of the kids in school who said that and it turned out to be true.

      Reading, on the other hand, was very important to me. As well as history.
