I (pretty much) cruised through High School, getting good grades in almost every subject I took (EXCEPT Art class !!  ), especially all of my math courses.......that is, until I ran STRAIGHT into the immoveable iceberg that was Calculus (and, by association, Physics, which had A LOT of calculus in it!) !! I'll never forget the VERY odd feeling that suddenly everybody seemed to be speaking in a COMPLETELY different language when it came to this particular subject......one that I didn't understand......and that how, no matter what I did, I just couldn't grasp any of the fundamentals of this subject, AT ALL !! Long story short, my teacher, in a moment of kindness, ended up (barely) passing me with a "D" (actually may have been a "D-"......my VERY 'spotty' memory seems to recollect ACTUALLY seeing a "-" next to that "D", but all these (40) years later, I can't be sure....), which I MOST CERTAINLY did NOT deserve (it was my Senior year, and in a moment of pity (I'm guessing), my teacher didn't want to screw up my graduation, and force me to have to spend my summer retaking the class......though why, I have NO clue!)!!
