I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Early in my career, I wanted to be a mathematician.
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.
I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills.
I have always loved astronomy, and being an astronomer once lurked in the back of my mind. But I was never good at algebra. In fact, I flunked it twice in high school.
I spent 10 years working on a math Ph.D., and I finally got kind of good at it.
I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.
I was always good at math and science and physics.
I was particularly good at math and science.
I was a mathematics major and really into math.
I was good at math, math was my thing - but I was not nearly good enough to be an astrophysicist. I was way outta my league. I realized this very quickly.
