“I enrolled at a local college, but this time paid attention to myself - took only courses that really interested me, even if they weren't in sequence; kept out of classes with people I knew from high school, because I tended to act like the class clown around them; selected teachers by their teaching style - until I could build up my study habits. I ended up graduating with a 3.97 GPA and got into Harvard for my doctorate.” PeopleIfsSchoolCoursesAttentionClassStudyTeacherTeachingStyleCollegeHabitHigh SchoolPaidLocalsGraduatesClownSequenceHarvardSelectedDoctoratesGpa Author:L.
