I didn't get particularly good grades in school in math and physics.

It took me some time.

I just loved it so much.

Paying attention to your own curiosity and not being discouraged when maybe you don't get something very, very quickly.

You're already enough.

You're already there.

For so long, I wondered, do I have what it takes to be an astrophysicist?

I love this, but maybe I just don't have the magic thing, the right stuff.

And science doesn't work that way.

If you want to study it, you can study it.

It's like learning a language.

It takes a while to become fluent in a different language.

You don't really go up to a young person and say, you could never learn Spanish, even if you tried.

No, no.

I mean, science is a beautiful thing to study.

It takes time.

And anyone can learn it if they're interested in it and have that passion more than any innate ability and talent to get all of this very quickly.

So, you know, I spent way too much time thinking maybe I'm not the right personality.

I'm not smart enough.

And it's a cultural, you know, bullshit that science requires a certain type of brilliant, different person.
