Reason 4 is enough by itself. Excellent work forging your own path and making a difference your way. Especially being able to balance enjoying work and feeling purpose in it. I bet you'll change some lives in ways you'll never fully see! Good work miss Sasha. Er, I mean, doctor Fradkin.

Please dont throw a heavy duty eraser at my head! :P

Just because you're unhappy with how your life has turned out so far, doesn't mean that trying to bring others down will make you feel any better. In fact, it'll just make you feel even worse about yourself. Perhaps you need to take a step back, look at yourself in the mirror and recognize you have value. It's a waste for you to spend time tearing others down when you could be building yourself up. I really hope you can feel better, face your faults and grow as a person.

I can remember clearly when I was in grade 2 and was in the office waiting for my parents to pick me up. There was a grade 5 student working on math homework and I looked over at what he was doing. I was absolutely terrified by how impossible it looked to do. I honestly thought that there was no way someone like me could ever do "advanced" math.

I eventually learned, though I was anxious the entire time thinking about what was coming next. Always had wished that a teacher had made it looked/feel less scary. Though, it now just feels like matching the correct formula to the right type of problem. How do you present math to young kids that can make it seem less daunting, or even fun?
