Some people are pretty smart in some areas but not others. I have a good memory and I am good at learning History. Most of the stuff I talk to my friends about, they’re like “how tf do you remember this?” If you read my sentences or my hand writing, you’d think I was a fourth grader. I stumble over my words like a little kid and probably have a speech impediment. I can do simple math pretty fast but sometimes the harder algebra gets me stumped. I’m always off in my own head so if I have to do something that requires a good attention span… I’ll fail.
I have a short little span of attention too and I have visual stress - I have trouble reading and recognising people.
When you realise that your brain is a bunch of modules some of which work well while others don't, and that sometimes they don't communicate well, then you realise why people are so different.
Haha our study group tried to help a fellow student. We all tried but could not get him to understand equations. He was the only one in our group to fail. He graduated with us. But had to take the entire program over. Good god, it hurts.

Everyone has different gifts
