Who knows what I would have done?

At a very young age I have always had an inquisitive mind. I taught my self to read at age 5 and was always roaming the house after everyone went to sleep examining things. I did well in school and was personally invited by the Dean of Admissions at Vassar to attend their school. Unfortunately, my mother did understand me or how prestigious that invitation was. My other siblings (2 sisters and 1 brother) was attending local schools and told me I would not be able to go to Vassar. She also did not share my desire to pursue a degree in medicine and discouraged me from doing so. Although I did turn out OK, I wish I had the opportunity to see what answers were on that answer sheet as to what would have been the right decision to make. I believe I could have discover the cure to cancer, or to AIDS.
