Fact 11

I suck at math. I always did pretty good at most of my other subjects, but math has never been one of them. When I was applying for a scholarship in college, I needed to pick up a copy of my high school transcript. My wife got a big kick out of the section that showed my SAT scores, where I scored in the 90th percentile on everything, except where I was in the 30th for math.

As part of my stellar career in mathematics, I even had the chance to take 8th grade algebra. Twice. As a result, my wife is constantly amazed that I’m able to survive in a field where math plays such a big role in what I do for living.
