#197 Bob Parsons - Vietnam War Veteran / Founder of GoDaddy & PXG

Well, I was a terrible student, terrible student. And I failed the fifth grade, and nobody can ever take that away from me. But when I failed the fifth grade, Sister Brenda, I was in parochial school. Sister Brenda was a nun, and she didn't talk much, but she sure hated me because she kept me almost every day after school.

She'd go, Robert Parsons, you're staying at school. So anyhow, it was the last day of school. And me, this kid named Frankie, this kid named Anthony, and everybody got their report cards.

It was one of them Baltimore days, hotter than shit, you know? And it was maybe June or May. And I went to St. Elizabeth's of Hungary. And so all I was looking for was a nun-free summer. Sister Brenda handed everybody their report cards. And then said to me, Frankie Nancy says, you three wait here. I'll be back later. And as I take his line out, then I'll. You know, and there you go.

And then I'll process your whatever's going to happen. But she didn't say we failed. So Anthony's saying, I remember him saying, I wonder what Sister Brenda wants us to stay back here for. And it occurred to me, I said, it's because we failed. Oh. And so she took everybody out to meet the parents. And the way this was set up, St. Elizabeth occupied one big city square block.

My father, every year on the last day of school, he'd pick up me and my brother and my sister. Later, she was involved in that. He'd pick us up, and he'd take us over to the Sporting Goods store or something, and we'd buy something for passing, and he'd bring us home. So...

And I run through the schoolyard, down around the side over where the parents are, up around the side of the convent and up against the wall. the wall or this black fence where it was fencing off the convent. And I could see Sister Brenda in the class coming down, walking down with them. And everybody's happy with their report cards and so forth. And I said to her,
