On the positive side, I 10 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 11 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 12 and told him about my 13 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 14 is it that you can solve 15 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 18 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 19 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 20 we choose.

I drew 7 my short frame and asked them to stop 8 . Suddenly 14 pairs of eyes were fixed on my face. I knew I did not 9 convincing. Glaring at each other and me, the two boys slowly 10 their seats.
