While it was a very interesting period in my life, I was happy to get back to more direct contact with students in the classroom and in my research projects.

I barely got out of high school, and I look back at my life often and go, 'Wow, this was awesome!'

I love meeting interesting people and doing things with them.

In college, I took an acting class as a lark. I was surprised by how much it interested me. It seemed like something I could do my whole life and always try to get better at.

I really look forward to that opportunity to be a student and discover things. That keeps it interesting for me. And I sometimes get easily bored, and there are still some things I wanna talk about instead of repeating something.

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school, I'm still learning all the time.

I'm so socially awkward. I really had to put myself out there and meet new people.

It took awhile for me to get used to speaking candidly about my own life. I got into it, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

I went to university and I was a bit out of my depth, socially.
