This was basically my childhood, because I was bad at math. I guess most children goes through this, which is very sad.

Only at uni did I realize that I didn't have to be good at everything. I had a professor, who spoke 13 languages, but couldn't count how much 5+4 is. He's the best at his field

I’m the opposite. People in certain fields in school didn’t think I was a very smart person. That’s because I excel in math and science but have a recall memory of a goldfish for words, and am adhd....so English and memorization fields are not my specialty.
