When I graduated high school, I burned most of my old assignments and work. To be honest, I was never a stellar student. Graduated with a 2.6 GPA, and the only classes that I got higher than a D in were introductory programming, game design and computer support. Even though I burned so much of my old work, for some reason, I still keep an old essay I wrote for English, an essay on why I believe urban graffiti is art and a culture in and of itself rather than vandalism. I don't know why I still hang on to it.
