My dad (born in 1927) had to get up in the middle of the night to work on a dairy farm before school. He did poorly in school bc he slept most of the time. He ended up quitting at age 17 after reaching only the 7th grade. My dad was a very smart man, he had a quick wit to complement his intelligence. I often wonder what his life would have been like if he hadn't been too tired to learn.
