not good at math? (Outliers/Gadwell)
#20
I'm not in love with math. It has helped that I was completely home educated and was able to work at my own pace, yet I still find it a very great weak spot.

The public school system and society seems to encourage us to be lazy and not challenge ourselves. I have had a love for reading since I was in early elementary school. History is my strong point (also government, politics, etc.). Now I'm working toward my degree...

One of my younger sisters learned to read at age four, now she is thirteen. She is an avid reader. Her accomplishments include reading a Nancy Drew Mystery in less than an hour (about a year ago), the Phantom of the Opera in a day, seven of the original Elsie Dinsmore books in two days, etc.

We need to inspire our coming generation, that is the greatest thing that is lacking. We have a spineless society that has no goals beyond getting out of school!!
