In Jamaica We Had The English Way Of Schooling From The Age Of Four, So When I Got To America I Was Already A Few Years Advanced Because I Started School At The Age Of Three-and-a-half Rather Than Six And My Grades Moved Up Accordingly. In America, They Start You At School At Six Because The Grades Are Different. I Had To Take A Test And They Didn't Know What To Do With Me. It Wasn't That I Was Any Smarter; I Had Just Started Younger. All Of A Sudden I Was Jumped From Eighth To Tenth Grade. They Said I Was Very Smart, But I Was Only Smart In Languages, Really.
