I Just Love Math And Most People

I Want Girls To Feel The Confidence You Get From Being Smart. They Get So Many Messages That Tell Them The Most Important Thing Is To Be Beautiful.

I Went To About One Frat Party A Year. A Year Seemed To Be Enough Time For Me To Forget How Much I Didn't Like Frat Parties, And My Friends Would Eventually Convince Me To Go To One. Cheap Beer, Guys Looking For A Quick Hook-up, And Girls Playing 'dumb' To Get In On The Hook-up. I Just Never Got Into It.

I Noticed There Were So Many People, Especially Women, Who Would Come Up To Me Having Recognized Me From Tv And Say, 'i Heard You Were A Math Person, Why Math? Oh My Gosh, I Could Never Do Math!' I Could Just See Their Self-esteem Crumbling; I Thought That Was Silly, So I Wanted To Make Math More Friendly And Accessible.

Most Of The Time I Liked School And Got Good Grades. In Junior High, Though, I Hit A Stumbling Block With Math - I Used To Come Home And Cry Because Of How Frustrated I Was! But After A Few Good Teachers And A Lot Of Perseverance, I Ended Up Loving Math And Even Choosing It As A Major When I Got To College.

Math Is Like Going To The Gym For Your Brain. It Sharpens Your Mind.
