It's nuts that I'm still in school

Very early in my schooling career (kindergarten or early primary school) I planted a chestnut and it grew. When this plant was about two feet tall and had just a few broad leaves, it got transplanted to the lakeside property that my parents part-own.

For each year that I've been in school, the tree has grown, receiving an occasional pruning from the folks at the lake. I visited the lake this past weekend and the tree is huge, now towering over the trailers and trucks.
