|---|---|
| 1 | When I originally entered UCLA, I had planned to go for a film major, but I kept finding myself taking math classes for fun, 'cause I missed them from high school! |
| 2 | My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there's a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, ARE fun, and that's the way I'd like to convey them myself. |
| 3 | I learned my French through school. I was lucky in that the tutor on The Wonder Years (1988) set spoke fluent French. |
