Many of these experiences were just what I considered normal high school experiences, and therefore I didn’t think it really impacted me in any sort of way. Many of my experiences that I had originally believed to enhance my school performance, seem to have had the opposite effect. First of all, I had my brothers. There was never a time before college where I had experienced any form of education without my brothers there with me.

Also, I spent my eighth-grade year at BASIS Ahwatukee, similar to the KIPP Academy mentioned in Outliers, where teachers drill academic proficiency into the students’ minds.
