So true! I wrote about multi-tasking too. I have to admit that while I feel that it is basically a good thing – it can have its limits. I do believe that it depends on the individual and the their frame of mind.

I think that for many people there is a bit of maturing or realizing your place that has to take place before we can be ready to learn. I seem to have taken a path much like yours, making it through high school by the skin of my teeth but now I love learning. It can be problematic at times but I am constantly looking for something new to discover and I love the process!
