      Not at all, I was a complete day dreamer! I left all my study until the last minute and I was able to understand something once I tuned in…. i.e. stopped dreaming

      I think everyone can learn once they tune in on the correct frequency, of course it is also necessary for those giving classes to tune to the correct frequency of the student. This is now very difficult as teachers have so many students and few hours and it is difficult to find the time to deliver the message in multiple ways.

      I always believed that if you don’t understand something ask a question. I don’t care what other people think so I have no problem asking the stupidest question.

      Yikes! I hope not.
      Maybe some people might have thought I was.
      But they were kind enough not to call me one.

      Do you know any nerds?
      Would you like to be one?

      Kinda. I loved science and math and I was also very sporty. I am defiantly more of a nerd now..and proud of it 😉

      I’ll be honest – yes! I think a nerd is someone who really loves their interests and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks – and I was a bit like that, especially with Maths and Physics. I also just love learning – I never want to stop learning new things and acquiring new skills, so my head was usually in the books.
