When I Was Little, We Had A

In High School, A Teacher Once Suggested That I Be A Math Major In College. I Thought, 'me? You've Got To Be Joking!' I Mean, In Junior High, I Used To Come Home And Cry Because I Was So Afraid Of My Math Homework. Seriously, I Was Terrified Of Math.

I Am Definitely A Serial Monogamist. I Can Count On One Hand The Number Of Guys I've Been With.

Students Never Think It Can Be The Teacher's Fault And So I Thought I Was Stupid. I Was Frustrated And Would Come Home And Cry Because I Couldn't Do It. Then We Got A New Teacher Who Made Math Accessible. That Made All The Difference And I Learned That It's How You Present It That Makes It Scary Or Friendly.

By The End Of An Intense Four Years At Ucla, I Had Co-authored A New Math Proof, Which The Media, In Fact, Loved. As It Turned Out, Math Itself Blazed My Entry Back Into The Spotlight And Consequently Into Wonderful Acting Jobs Like 'the West Wing' And Others. You Just Never Know, Do You?

I Recognize That I Have A Unique Position To Be A Role Model To Young Girls Because I Am Doing Something That They Consider Glamorous, Which Is Acting, And Yet I Took A Time To Really Get My Education And Study Mathematics, And I Think Math Is The Cat's Meow.
