I have successfully taught students from middle school to undergrad in wide ranging subjects from biology to chemistry to databases to US history.

...There is absolutely nothing that is stopping you. I would have never thought that I would be here today as an ambitious learner who has experienced many setbacks, yet still has chosen and is still choosing to set initially-believed-to-be-unachievable goals and explore any opportunity because I knew that there was no limit to what I could do. As a young child, I bought into the commonly-held belief that talent and "natural" intelligence was what helped...
