Needless to say, this is what I also did during my seemingly endless stints of in-school suspension.

Somehow this panned out - despite graduating with something like the 3rd worst GPA in my class of 80 or so, the college i ended up going to sent me - in the same packet - (1) an acceptance letter, (2) notice that I received a scholarship, and (3) a letter stating that I was on academic probation already for failure to meet minimum entry requirements.

Mastering cold writes, i.e. thinking critically about subjects you may not care for or even dislike, is far more tedious yet rewarding than just writing about what you like imo. Still, when I did get the opportunity to write about what I like I found myself writing more fluently because I had a knowledge base on my topics which allowed me to assemble my thoughts better.
