Thanks for your personal perspective based on your lived experience. I know a person who is doing teaching and sincerely wants to teach but finds many of his students have attention issues. He viewed it particularly with the boys as there having been no male parent figure around for these kids.

I agree with your idea that those who seek improvement as a student or worker will tend to improve

I took the hard courses in high school

I was not a good student as I did not have good grades then. But somehow I got into a good college and my grades improved

Life is strange

Desire is a very important factor

Honestly, I wasn't all that great of a student myself. I've always had a thirst for knowledge and comprehension, but not in all things.

I think that 'talent' is really interest. If someone desires to draw and keeps at it continually, they are bound to get good at it, and people will call it 'talent.' Same for any other skill.

And, yes, life is strange.
