Oh gosh yes! I was a so-so student at best in high school…i still got into a great college because back then, it wasn’t hard…and then in college, kaboom! I just felt my mind awaken…plus, i graduated from a small school (75 kids in graduating class) and I had known most of them since elementary school and suddenly I realized that the world was way bigger than I ever knew. (and I was also lucky to have amazing teachers).
