I was looking through some old papers this weekend and found a report card from the 8th grade… Hey I said they were old \ud83d\ude42 I got a C+ in math… My blood pressure went up, a lot. \u00c2\u00a0Okay, so before you start thinking that I was one of those kids in school… Well I was one of those kids! \u00c2\u00a0I mean, come on, a C+!! \u00c2\u00a0I didn’t get Cs! \u00c2\u00a0I’m pretty sure this was around the time I started thinking that I might not be cut out for my dream of being an architect… a few high school geometry courses confirmed this fact.<\/p>\n
