Editor’s Note: The Following is an abridged version of a story written as part of a collaboration with The Globe and Mail. The story originally appeared on October 23, 2015.

When I was in grade eight, my mom brought home the course calendar for some of the universities in Alberta that offer paleontology programs.

I saw that I would need to take calculus, chemistry, and physics.

But those were my top three worst subjects!
