In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, Me? Youve got to be joking! I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math. – Danica McKellar
I want to help middle-school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them its not for them. Its for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors. – Danica McKellar
