I rarely pay attention to many things even now in my adult life without getting bored distracted, can't help it, maybe something like add/adhd (start things never finish, easily distracted, easily bored etc)
Twice I ever fully 100% paid attention at school, mostly i get by on slightly paying attention in life, but on the two times i paid full attention, (once on a school trip, i was told some info on a museum trip, and another time we were told the one of those tales with morals or something you learn at school) both times I managed to recall the entire story many days/weeks after they were originally told to me, for class assignments.
I then Won a certificate for story writing (yeah right, all i did was recall all the info already told to the class )and I won a chocolate easter egg for the other
Since that time till now i have tried and tried to recall stuff, simple stuff told to me, be it instructions, small lists etc, nope
We were made to dictate later on in school/college life, even in my jobs, and I can't retain information moments after it was told to me, so god knows how i was able to recall all that useless info on the two above occasions, nor why I gave 100% attention on these two occasions and pretty much never again, I'm always the guy thats like "huh?", "what?" Can you say that again" also my story telling is absolute dogshite.
Strange but boringly true.
