I don't think of you as poor you. Just each of us gets some things, not others, and it's not our choice. Would I have chosen mathematics over, say, having a musical ear? Being good looking? Having one of those jobs that pay the bills and at five pm you're free and your weekends are really, really yours? I don't know. Honestly. Point is, I didn't really have a choice. This is who I am, as much as the huge Muttermal on the right side of my nose I inherited from my granny. All I did was follow my gift instead of ignoring it as my parents would have wanted me to do. At least Park's and House's gift saves lives.
