Since you got to interact with college students as a really young kid through being peers with them (I assume), did you also got to interact with the same group many years later when you went back and do you found the interactions to be similar? I know that this kid was raised really isolated from kids around the same age, did you also have this and how do look back at this?

Yes, and I would say my interactions around academic topics were pretty similar. I really loved hanging around University computer labs as a kid and young teenager, and that was no different at all when I got to Berkeley. And yes, I was pretty isolated from other kids. Part of that story is that I grew up in a very rural, mountainous area. Looking back, I wish I had had more of a peer group. I wanted to go to the Johns Hopkins gifted program, but I think my parents were reluctant to let their little boy go into the big bad world. I regret they didn't.
