In high school we had to have two science credits in order to graduate, one "general science" and the second either biology or chemistry. I knew they cut up animals in biology and refused to take the course, so i ended up having to take chemistry which i had no interest whatsoever in, in fact i hated that class and decided if i failed it i would just have to miss getting the all-important-at-that-time graduation diploma required to get employment, get into university, and move forward in the world. So i sat all thru chemistry, an hour every school day, quietly drawing at my desk (i was a very artistic child) and willing the teacher never to call on me, which she didn't. And I failed every single test. She was a tall, gawky, unattractive older single woman, and i actually felt a bit sorry for her. At the end of the year i couldn't believe she gave me the lowest passing grade -- a D -- so i was able to graduate! I had never exchanged more than two words with this teacher, but i went to thank her, and she said to me "I've always wanted to be able to draw". That was in 1966, and it still touches my heart today.........
