When I was growing up, I wanted passionately to be a physicist.

If you're a white male growing up in this society, you're constantly receiving encouragement to go on in science in the form of all the images that you're receiving.

When I was in seventh grade, I was bored out of my mind. We seemed to be learning the same things over and over in science and math, and two of the boys in my class were allowed to move ahead into these advanced classes, but I wasn't allowed because I was a girl.

The world is a complex place.

I hope when I take my last breath I haven't got any regrets, because I am making up for lost time with my family.

I wasn't going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.

Prodigy was definitely family... It definitely sucks not to have him here.
