4. I will admit

that I'm kind of a math dunce but I have two excuses for that... even though I still make myself struggle through math when need be. I found, in college, that I am slightly dyslexic (but I have adapted pretty well before that and triple check everything cuz the numbers move around and disappear sometimes and never opted for the alternative compensatory things offered to those who have such issues) and when I was in grade school, they bounced back and forth with the "New Math" curricula while I was learning the basics. But I still made it through college and came out with a Master's.

And I give credit to the public schools I attended... all 14 of them.

Shocking is a good way to put it.
