school. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was
only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could
not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had
Osgood-Schlatter disease ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease).
