0:33started and well it all started in
0:36seventh grade actually back then I hated
0:39math like I couldn't stand it it was the
0:41only subject I really couldn't grasp
0:44easily and I was also kind of lazy so I
0:47didn't like studying I didn't put the
0:49effort into it and in one particular
0:51test I remember that I got a really bad
0:54grade like I did really bad and I felt
0:58really angry sad blamed everyone except
1:01myself for that and I remember that my
1:04mom I think she was tired of hearing me
1:06complaining she came up to me and said
1:09Son never forget she said Son some trees
1:13flourish and others die some cattle grow
