Me too!! Also, the more interested I am the easier to focus-- that is the same for everyone I am sure-- but more true for ADHD individuals I believe-- it is part of the hyperfocus that AXO_Mom mentioned.
I struggled through school until my sophomore year in college-- I had average grades in grade school, HS, and my freshman year in college-- but once I got into the classes for my major-- I never got below a B in any of my major related classes!! In graduate school I never got below an A!!
The school issue is one example my psychologist used in my diagnosis-- along with others-- but that example really helped me with the constant struggle I have always had in understanding why I did poorer in school when I was younger than I did in college and graduate school. My family, teachers, and I always just blamed it on laziness, procrastination, poor study habits, and lack of trying!!
