Q:Your last post about working hard was very inspirational! I'm a junior in high school at the moment, and college is always on my mind. Just wondering, what kind of a student were you in high school? What college did you graduate from?

Haha, thanks! As for your question, I was Rank 1 in my high school graduating class. But honestly that didn’t mean much for my school, here are some of the stats; I was class of 2007. It wasn’t like I was a super genius nerd or anything, I just did my homework and classwork. I didn’t ever really study (maybe that’s why I got a 1 on my AP US History test and a 2 on my AP Calculus test HAHA). My school was ranked 344/405 of the high schools in WA. Take note of the statewide performance as well as the free/reduced lunch stats. Now, I didn’t grow up in Compton or anything, but my hometown is pretty ghetto and I’m actually one of those free/reduced lunch numbers; the majority of my high school was low income and that included me.

When I got to college it was a new playing field. Everyone was as smart as me, OR EVEN SMARTER! What the fuckkkk?? My high school grades and class rank meant NOTHING. If you’re in high school now and not doing too well don’t sweat it, you can turn it around in college; I’ve seen plenty of people do it. That goes both ways; if you’re doing good in high school now don’t let your guard down; college is a new level and most of your achievements in high school don’t mean shit after you get in. I graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with a degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics. Given that my mom was a single mother of two kids AND she’s not a US citizen AND she worked minimum wage jobs her entire life… I know people can do well for themselves regardless of their situation. Some situations just require more effort than others. Your mileage may vary.

Hey there, this is where I blog about random motorcycle related things. I ride an '07 CBR600RR; you'll see it posted here from time to time. I'm from Seattle. If you are looking for thousands of super cool motorcycle pictures then sorry, I don't really do that massive reblogging stuff. Most of my blog is my own original content though some will be stuff that I do not own; stuff that I find on the internet and claim no rights to. Either that or reblogs of friends of mine. I usually tag "Relate-A-Moto" on my stuff so you'll know.

Anyway, if you like what you see and want to know what goes through the mind of a motorcyclist feel free to follow and join me as I immerse myself in the world of motorcycles. Projects, maintenance, rides, tips, and words of wisdom for aspiring as well as veteran riders: all of it will be documented here. Hope you're able to learn a thing or two during your stay, and as always, enjoy the ride.

To all my followers and anyone that has ever liked or reblogged any of my personal posts... Thanks :D
