It sounds like your homeschool environment prepared you very well for that style of learning in college. > I'm no genius, and I really think anyone with a normal brain can do what I did I'm a big believer that almost anyone is smart enough to learn almost anything if they are motivated and have the time and energy. There are two problems. One is that people don't necessarily know how to learn (and we may not be good at teaching them this). The other is that schools have to meet students where they are -- not just in terms of smarts about the subject, but in terms of motivation and commitment level.
