I lose track of time when I’m at the nursing home with my boyfriend’s mom. I’ve made many friends here. It is nice to
get out of the house. I guess I crave social interaction more than I realized I did. On the introvert – extrovert spectrum, I
would say I’m actually closer to the extroverted side. This comes as a surprise – my mom always insisted that I was
an introvert, like her. I did love to read books, like her, so this almost tracked.
Turns out, I am still an excellent problem solver, and I would have excelled in math in school. But, I never tried very hard.
I was in advanced math anyway, until after my accident when I was 16. Muskego High School staff belittled and
underestimated me by enrolling me in Special Ed right away, without any testing my intellectual abilities or
anything. Muskego High School downgraded my self esteem so much, I resorted to selling
in college.
