Why Prisoners Learn Faster than College Students, BetterU Response

I actually relate to this. I was in Jail, I read To Kill a Mockingbird, War and Peace and the Bible. I read War and Peace twice. Loved every minute of it. To Kill a Mockingbird I read three times. The Bible I read along with a Radio Ministry called Through the Bible with Jay Vernon McGee.

But, even now, I'm the same. I just learn obsessively. Something I want cracked, I think about it--I'm a little slower than other people, but can focus like a laser--and I don't stop until I understand it. I listen to teachers--YouTube videos--read books, take notes in the form of poems and stories. And I have a very accurate metacognition that will scan my work for faults.
