Mathematics is a beautiful, elegant subject...but it has the power to leave the brightest students in tears.

<p>I'm an AIME qualifier and can do a few AIME problems and yet I got pretty discouraged in math as I am clearly much weaker than a lot of other people at a summer math program I went to. Now I'm having yet another identity crisis. I definitely can't do into the Humanities because I have no interest and I feel that I am not intelligent enough for the sciences even though I'm most interested in them. What has happened is that I've changed my life goals from becoming a scientist to simply having loving relationships with parrots and ducks.</p>
