What I knew was I liked math and science, and I never wanted to memorize everything. I wanted to understand where it came from.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it.
I enjoyed mathematics from a very young age. At the beginning of college, I had this illusion, which was kind of silly in retrospect, that if I just understood math and physics and philosophy, I could figure out everything else from first principles.
I always knew that there was something that made me different, and by the time I was in high school, I understood what it was.
I stayed away from mathematics not so much because I knew it would be hard work as because of the amount of time I knew it would take, hours spent in a field where I was not a natural.
One of the reasons I'm so passionate about science is that it wasn't correctly taught to me. I got excited at university.
Math just wasn't my favorite. I didn't get how important math is and how it relates to real life. That's why I think I was turned off to it. Once I got down arithmetic and a little bit of algebra, I think I checked out. As I've gotten older, I think there's a lot more relation to math. English was my favorite subject.
I was interested in science before I even knew what science was.
I was particularly good at math and science.
I learned nothing while I was in school.
I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all rolled into one.
