Head In The Clouds
Focusing in High School was very difficult for me, unless I was actually interested in the subject. Since my High School only had a Drafting and an Architecture course that could appeal to my desire to design, that was rare. CAD was such a new thing we only had 3 computers, and it was something like Auto Cad 12, which came out in 92 just a year before. I spent a large portion of time drawing as a consequence.
More than anything else, I drew helicopters. Like the one below. You can see the way my thinking and style changed from 1990 through 2005 in the first image, then you can see some of the intermediate steps below (Mostly from the later years, as before that they were really rather poor.)

Helicopters
I have noticed my ideas can really come from anywhere. Like sometimes, your driving, and driving, and driving, and driving...
Suddenly you wonder, how your 1994 ford Escort would look as a helicopter. and there it is.
Most of the time, you just can't pay attention in High School Algebra, and suddenly there you go.

Evolving Ideas
I used to draw, all the time. I had ADD enough in High School that, traditionally, this was what I did instead of say, homework. It is interesting to me to see how some of my ideas evolved over time, as did my abilities.
Going way back to about 1993, I had an idea floating about for a car. Well, Many I suppose. the only think that stayed the same is the air scoops on the sides. This initial idea is fun, in that I clearly have computer screens and DVD players everywhere, and, what is that on the center console? Yep, a floppy drive. Apparently this car had DVD and game systems all built in, as well as some serious navigation aids. Also note that the headlights are hidden behind a plexiglass shield that keeps the aerodynamics of the car. But who ever heard of such things in an automobile? Am I right?
Now watch, as the idea slowly evolves from then through about 1995.
