Do you think *anyone* can be an engineer?

“I find that people who do things easily think that everyone should do them easily, and that not much skill is required.”

I used to think this about math. I thought that my fellow students who couldn’t do math were just lazy.

Then one day in gym, my PE teacher yelled at me for not trying. Oh, my gosh, I was trying as hard as I could! I just could not do a cartwheel to save myself! That’s when the lightbulb went off in my head. Maybe those kids struggling in math really were trying! I try to remember that now.
