I am too. In 8th grade I wrote a paper that got me a scholarship
  into a private school. [which was great 'cause we had no money
  and my public school system stunk] - anyway, the subject?

  The power of making do.

  and I gave examples of how it's good to make use of what you
  have, even if it's not perfect and stuff like that. Wish I had
  it - I was proud of it - but I hold the way of thinking close to
  me, as it keeps me grounded. Otherwise, I can easily get my head
  up in the clouds about ideas. I have to ask, "Does it blend?"
  [with reality] from time to time, check my sources, and all that
  type of stuff.

  I know it's two different senses of "pragmatic" but they use the
  same word for a reason.
