Default Failed Prodigy - 06-30-2006, 02:10 AM

Today I just learned that I was once a math prodigyof sorts. I was multiplying in the double digits before kindergarten. When my teachers asked me how I did that, I explained that 'I just see it'.Through laziness and the fact that math is boring, I never practiced and so my latent genius never developed. Also, I started going 'math crazy',making mental numerical connections that make no sense. I cant make up a good example, but if one happens in the near future, Ill post it. Now I just graduated from highschool, barely passing math at the lowest IB level. I find that very distressing.
