Hello brains!

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I say that to you because...
if you think about it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It wasn't really you
that decided to come here today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was your brain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And whether you decided 
to walk or drive, take a taxi, ride a bike

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That decision was decided
by your brain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Behavior, all behavior,
is affected by your brain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a story about my brain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, I was a smart kid. By 18 months I
was speaking in full sentences.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By third grade I was scoring 
post high school on standardized tests.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I had as all my teacher's agreed,
so much potential.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999


99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was also struggling.
I didn't have many... any friends.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Outside of books.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
