>>3308419I took a course at UC Berkeley. I was a fuck up. It fit with my schedule. I was dumbest person in class until the very end of class. The truth is, I am a shitty student. But I gave enough effort, more than any class I took at any school, that certain things stuck. The other strength i have is Econ, which just comes naturally. I have never spent more than 10 hours on the dozen plus UC level courses I took. I always took B's (besides advanced Macro, thank you Brad D. Long, or whatever).
My literally HS GPA: under 3
My literal UCB GPA: under 3 (barely)
I fucking read shit and go. I am a bad example.
I have always been brillant though. I don't blame UC Berkeley or my High School. I should have been put in a special boarding school but my parents never earned more than 60K a year and went bankrupt while I was in high school (not their fault, and I literally hauled steel in 100 f heat for my family).
More or less, I was born with it, my education gave me close to nothing, and now I am here because I simply am me.
Read my shit if you don't believe me. I am right. These models are perfect and are not derived from anyone but me.
