Question: Did you ever find anything hard at school.

Yes, there would have been things I struggled with, but I can’t remember anything specific. My problem whilst at school I was very immature, and didn’t care. If I didn’t understand anything I wasn’t bothered by it enough to struggle with it to find it hard. If I could go back and change that attitude I would. Like I said on my profile, not doing well in school is not the end of the world, but you have less options available immediately and you have to work a lot harder to catch up. If your struggling with something it shows you have the right attitude, you care! Don’t ever be embarrassed by the way if no matter how hard you try you can’t work it out, talk to your teacher after lesson, that’s what they are there for. It may be your over thinking something and missing the obvious! That’s where the saying “I couldn’t see the woods for the trees” come from! I have been there many times myself since school.
