<p>i just wanted to share this with yall cuz i think people on here might get something out of my little experience. it's kinda like, we're taking the hardest classes with all of the smartest kids and we forget that we are pretty good, even if we're not the best.
oook</p>
<p>so i was at starbucks, skipping my class at the community college at 7 in the morning, and i'm sitting there with my calculus and my huge ap physics book (for scientists and engineers) doing my homework. and this guy comes up to me, he's prolly a UT student, and he's like "what physics are you in" and i'm like "oh i'm in high school" and he's like "really?" and then his girlfriend comes up and she's like "and your in calculus too???" and i'm like "well.. ya.. i wanna be an engineer" and they're liek "wow! and your still in high school? well it seems like your on the right track!" and i'm like "ya... i hope so..."</p>
<p>and it just made me feel good. that they were so impressed with me. because i never feel like anything i'm doing is really impressive at all... just because there are a number of people out there who took calculus as juniors or even before that. so it was kind of a reality check. </p>
<p>ok... that's my story.
feel free to share stories of your own.</p>
