I was bored in school a lot. In second grade, the teacher would give us a math test. For me, it was stupid simple. I would just write in all the answers in just a minute and then just sit there staring or put my head down for a nap. The other kids would struggle and take a long time. Finally, the teacher told me to just get a book off the shelf and read.

But I did get very good grades throughout school. I always read all my new textbooks the first week of school, so the rest of the year was just reviewing what I'd already read and digested a long time ago.
