    I remember hearing this alot growing up, how “you are not a math person”, and I believed it.

    Now I have a masters in mechanical engineering and a few patents. Don’t believe this trope of “you aren’t good at math”.

      I can relate with this. A doctor told me when I was a middleschooler that I would never graduate from college. Welp… my master’s degree proved him otherwise.
