Did you show your children your old report cards?

Except for the final exam results, they have all been destroyed the moment I was finished with school.

My mom threw them out when I left for college. They’re in a dump somewhere, or may have already turned to dust.

No. I never kept them.

My father didn’t show me his, but I ended up running across them and was shocked. He barely made it through high school! But he went on to get a PhD in both electrical engineering and biophysics or something like that.

No there’s not a theme.

My Father was a freaking brain. Somehow he managed to become a dentist licensed to practice in Wisconsin and California at the age of 22. He died at age 32 when I was 4. He would have been disappointed in my school performance.

My theme: Started out crappy in kindergarten through 4th grade and finished mediocre. Managed to earn a BA degree when I was 26.

^^ Don’t feel bad, I didn’t finish my BA until I was 30. Took me 10 years and 4 universities, but I did it. Be loud, be proud!

I think they saw a couple my mother had.
