I am enjoying the process/Algebra

I am enjoying the process. I got an "A" on my last quiz. I spent the day studying. I am starting to understand. I was the first to arrive in class today and the last to leave. I listened to everything the teacher said,I wrote down and took note on every thing the teacher wrote on the blackboard.This was a dream of others not me or anyone I knew. Yet, by the Grace of a loving,caring, God , I have been giving the opportunity to learn, acquire knowledge, on the University level. I recently found my report cards from grades 1-8, evidently every grade was a "D" or "F" with little comments, like Timmy would do better if he stopped being the class clown and focus and do his work.( Timmy is thinking, maybe if you stopped hitting me, maybe I could concentrate).Ninth grade was an experiment school, 1973, for specially chosen students ,that were at risk for Drug or Alcohol abuse and drop out. Ran by Cops, for the cops, the horror 1. class, Marijuana 2.class uppers, 3.class,Downers, class 4. class LSD class 5.MDA class 6. Cocaine, class7. everything you ever wanted to know about heroin, how to melt it down,using your cigarette filter to draw it up,how to get a vein. the semester ended when detective Frank Luper was gunned down. experiment failed. know one said " hey you, kid, you street urchin,what University would you like to attend. It was more like, have you tried the army recruiter? I am honored to attend the University. I am enjoy the process. I am learning about how to go to school, how to learn,how to study, and what is expected of me. Peace and Love ponytailtim
