TO BE WORTH REMEMBERING BY SAM MILLER

Question: 2x - 1 = 9

Solve for x

The answer is 5.

I was the kid that thrived when completing questions like this. But why?

This answer is not up for interpretation. My VOJ does not exist in this scenario and it doesn’t hold me up. When it came to deciding which colors to use in my coloring book, that’s where my VOJ slows me down. 

Question: Do you think I’m more proud of my first grade math test, or the drawing I made of my family standing on the moon? 

The drawing may have been more difficult for me, but the creative stuff gives me the most satisfaction. Creativity is not hard, but actually sitting down to be creative is. I’m determined to overcome the challenges and do something worth remembering. Everything isn’t straight-forward in the real world, and I’ll be prepared when it hits me.
