Indeed, I did. In various forms. I studied to become a bilingual secretary, graduated after two years, and realized that I didn't want to be a secretary. Armed with that degree, I applied to a translation program in Munich, Germany, was accepted, studied there for two more years and graduated with the title of "certified translator". I also hold a Master of Science in Journalism from an American university (Quinnipiac University, Connecticut).

A (1997) : My parents are both mathematicians: they actually met while working on the Ferranti Mark I, the first computer sold commercially. My mother has been dubbed the "first commercial computer programmer" as she went with the machine when it was installed on the customer site. So we played with 5 hole paper tape, and learned to enjoy mathematics wherever it cropped up, and learned that it cropped up everywhere. Later on, my hobby was electronics.

We used a stratified, random sampling procedure. First, we asked the registrar to provide us with a list of all incoming first-year students (identified only by a nonsense ID) with data on their gender, ethnicity, intended major, high school GPA, and total SAT scores. We then drew random samples from within these categories to make sure that all kinds of students were represented in the study.

Yes, I won a Kellett fellowship to Cambridge University, which was my first trip to the United Kingdom. That was in 1979. And I was there for two years. I earned a Master of Philosophy and then went on and did a Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh, which I completed in 1985.

He said that as a child, he always played guitar. As a teenager, he studied classical guitar for 5-6 years and was going to audition for a concert, but instead 'chickened out' and went camping instead. He didn't pick up a guitar for 3 years after this, which was partly due to a broken finger. We don't know when or how he broke his finger.

The Panel followed three paths for gathering information for its study. The first was to review a variety of public databases to determine what research had already been conducted on how children learn to read. The second was to gather information from the public about their needs and their understanding of reading research. The NRP accomplished this by holding public regional hearings. The third was to consult with leading education organizations that had an interest in reading issues.

I'm not sure why I wanted to be a physician back in high school, if in fact I really did. I started college as a pre-med, but quickly gave up after nearly failing organic chemistry and calculus. After sliding through two successful but un-looked-for careers, I went back to school to get credentialed in my second career.
