I’m writing this as an introduction for various secrets

As a child, I was never in one place for very long. Not because I had ADD (I did); just that my father did not receive tenure as a professor of mathematics until I was in 9th grade, meaning that my family had to move from university town to university town as he traveled the country in search of a department that would give him tenure. Hence, my friends, who have only known me as long as I’ve lived in that particular town, a period of one to three years, have a far from complete picture of my life. Nor do my parents; I’ve been living apart from them for two years now, and when I lived with them, I was not the most open of children. Finally, some of the things which have happened to me I never told to anyone simply because they never asked. I’m organizing this as my life story, with important or interesting points thrown in, along with a bit of reflection. It’s one thing to look back on one’s life, and it’s another to write in down. Enjoy.
