I can’t read very well.

It takes me extraordinarily long time to read anything. I found out later on in life that I struggle with ADHD, and one of the most difficult things to do is reading.

When I was younger, I used to dread reading in the classroom.

I remember studdering as a kid. I still do when I get nervous.

I still do, except for I forgive myself a little more when I make mistakes.

I will make mistakes when I read. I will skip words and not understand what I read a few sentences ago.

I have realized that is a wonderful trait to have. Most stuff is boring anyway.

For me, the research career is less about understanding of particular topic, more about understanding who I am as a “person.”
