Hello brains!

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I say that to you because...[br]if you think about it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It wasn't really you[br]that decided to come here today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was your brain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And whether you decided [br]to walk or drive, take a taxi, ride a bike

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That decision was decided[br]by your brain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Behavior, all behavior,[br]is affected by your brain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is a story about my brain.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, I was a smart kid. By 18 months I[br]was speaking in full sentences.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
By third grade I was scoring [br]post high school on standardized tests.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I had as all my teacher's agreed,[br]so much potential.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000


9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was also struggling.[br]I didn't have many... any friends.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Outside of books.
