I was particularly good at math and science.

I was going to go back to college and become a math teacher.

I did math in school, obviously. And I loved all my math teachers.

Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.

Early in my career, I wanted to be a mathematician.

I was always good at math and science and physics.

By seventh grade, I was committed to mathematics.

I was kind of a nerdy, geeky type. And I loved math. People teased me about it. I felt pretty much like an outcast.

I spent 10 years working on a math Ph.D., and I finally got kind of good at it.
