| 15 | I was the happiest in English class, and algebra was where I cried. |
| 16 | I worked at a local country club that I never belonged to. I did random tasks in the pro shop and supposed to be in charge of the register, but that didn't go so well. They quickly realized I was better with people, not computers. |
