Have you ever achieved the impossible? Overcome the hugest obstacle?

I grew up being told by teachers that I was “language oriented” I think that was a nice way of saying that I never shut up
And throughout my schooling, I was treated as “good at language, bad at math” and that was pretty normal.

I was always fascinated by mathematics and wished I could understand but that wasn’t who I was, according to my teachers.

I decided to study and now I tutor basic math to people who were told they weren’t inclined that way.

What have you overcome despite your education?
