I was constantly bored in elementary school and needed constant stimuli to be interested in learning anything. I cought on to most things immediately and it was easy so I never did any homework because why bother when it’s just easy so felt like I was just lazy and also got called out on sloppy work because I just didn’t bother spending time on it. All hand in assignments were always written the night before and always got a medium to high grade so why bother doing anything more? That severely bit me in the bum years later in university and fast forward another 10 years and I now have an ADHD diagnosis and in hindsight things are now finally making sense.
This way me! Thankfully I went into the guard right out of high-school and in basic/tech school if you fuck up then you stay longer or fail out immediately. That really helped me change my head space (so instead of literally not studying I cracked the books the night before, and post-graduate studies I’d sometimes look at them two nights before a test!).

Wow, are you me? Because this is a pretty accurate biography of my life!
