I was one of those kids with a grim future. I almost failed out of high school.I nearly gave in to the deep anger and resentment harbored by everyone around me.Today people look at me, at my job and my Ivy League credentials, and assume that I’m some sort of genius, that only a truly extraordinary person could have made it to where I am today.With all due respect to those people, I think that theory is a load of bullshit.Whatever talents I have, I almost squandered until a handful of loving people rescued me.
