Wow, John. You sure know how to bolster my self-esteem.
When I was 22, my plans were to (in chronological order):
1. Become an attorney
2. Enter politics
3. Be elected to higher office
4. Teach high school biologyI am not so much into the research per se as I am into doing whatever is necessary to continue learning (and arguing). Knowledge and understanding have always been my passion. It was cruel of God to smite me with the inability to read, learn, and remember. At the moment, I am about 35% improved over my untreated baseline depression. This allows me to read word-for-word more than a few sentences. Skimming is still necessary. I have to pound things into memory through repetition. I had been able to learn after a single exposure to information. This occurs with aging, of course. It is a matter of degree. I am grateful for my 35%. It allows me to survive and live independently. Surviving isn't enough, though. I want to come alive.
I am not so much afraid of dying as I am of never having lived.
Thank again for the A+
:-)
