and i guess there is at least two different ways things might have gone
i could have had more support of the form of
'screw what we take to be age appropriate here are some harder exercises'
and that might have encouraged my interest in other things
or i could have had more support of the form of
'here are reasons to focus your efforts on biology and math'i guess they supported me by seeing that i was reasonable at english and that i loved it
and them allowing me to simply focus my efforts on that
that is a kind of support i guessi don't know what i'm saying
i don't regret the way things turned out
i don't regret philosophy at alli guess... i've just realized that medicine has always had appeal to me
but that was never considered an option
(my mother fostered english in girls because my sister became a secretary
administrative assistant to a business exec and that was considered 'success')
my brother was an accountant she taught him how to do math
i never really saw this... but thats where things were at...
