Today I learned that when you go all in people want you to win. I took my final for my logic class and leading up to that point I was studying as much as I could to do well enough to understand the material for this section. For the previous two sections I was one foot in one foot out. I had my attention divided between my rap shit and my school shit and it clearly showed in my grades with this class specifically. Once I knew I had to momentarily let go of my rap shit and go as hard as possible with my school shit that’s when I really started to stand out in the logic class. If I got a question wrong I would of email the professor for the correct solution. During class discussions I would point out helpful techniques I’d use to learn the material. I became an asset to the class rather than a nusance. I operated like it was life or death and it showed no matter how hard I tried to be discreate. I noticed that the professor enjoyed seeing me push myself to understand the material. Which was even more positive reenforcement for me to at the very least go down swinging. Taking the final I realized I had come a long way because it was significantly easier than the previous exams. I just checked my grade now and I passed the class I was most unsure if. I’m pretty sure the man gave me a boost but honestly grade wise it doesn’t matter. What matters most, to me, was whether I learn the shit he was teaching or not. And I surely did. This moment parallels with how I noticed how my uncle’s would look out for me when they saw with their own two eyes that I was doing everything to help myself. I’m now convinced that whenever you go all out and honestly strive for something like it’s life or death there are going to be a community of people that are going to watch and help you whether you know it or not. That’s pretty sweet.
