Describe yourself as a young student.

Oh, I was a pleaser. I was organized - the kind of student who had every paper neatly punched and filed, the kind who knew the daily schedule so well that I’d remind the teacher when we only had two minutes left of class. And I loved to learn. I was fascinated by numbers and the way they fit together, maps and the brightly colored countries with names I could neither pronounce nor spell, stories and the way writers could keep you turning page after page. I was lucky - I had teachers who appreciated my curiosity and who went out of their way to make sure I was continuously challenged.
