The look of Vindication after 40 years

12. Oh hell, it ain't snark--I am a science DOLT.

I'm not kidding. I did very well in the language arts and humanities, but science and math? Those qualified as childhood torture segments in my long-ago academic life.

That doesn't mean I find the topic uninteresting--I find much of it fascinating, I just sorta, kinda, suck at it! Anything that could be explained to you in a simple paragraph, would take, for me to get it, a year of patient repetition--and even if I did "get" it, it would probably be more rote memorization than actual understanding.

Everyone has their talents. When it comes to science, all I can do is stand on the sidelines, and marvel, and applaud. It's why I am an avid supporter of more science and maths in the schools--perhaps, if I'd gotten it earlier and from better teachers, I wouldn't be such a ... dolt!

I enjoy the science forum. I learn stuff here--maybe not terribly well, but I do learn a thing or two!
