Hey man I can't help it myself. Day dreaming about anything. I have ADD, that doesn't help me one bit!
Too bad, I almost flunked out of school a couple times and have gone all these years with bad grades, and primarily because I can't focus on my school and frankly, I don't care about it either. Of course, when I see my final grade I care, and say "Jee I wonder what would have happend if I put in a little more effort?".
The only class I have ever had an A in was...Metals! Or welding. THAT's what I'm good at! I also picked up running the steam at the zoo pretty fast. Primarily because I used to think about running steam often enough to where I could hop into the cab foaming with confidence.
When it comes to school, it has to be a class i'm interested in. Un-like most kids, even if they don't enjoy the class, they still get through it just fine. Not me! I struggle, and can't sit down and do homework in my own house for more than 10 minutes without getting up and getting distracted with something else.
My brother has ADD, and so does my dad, but my family never thought I did...all it would have taken was common sense to realize that I do. They just think I don't try in school, but I do.
Ohh well, too late now to go back to Kindergarten and start all over, give it another shot. So I just need to make the best of my 65 years left.
I will die a very happy man if I can say I lived as a steam locomotive engineer.
Time to go mow the lawn for one last time this winter.
Bye,
Kevin Bush
