#1 When I was ten months old, my parents rented a bungalow at the New Jersey shore. I was set on the sand and given a yellow plastic shovel. I dug for hours, watching the waves crash and the water mysteriously sink into the sand. I grew up admiring the sea and the earth’s wonders.

#2 My parents encouraged my curiosity and bought me a Golden Book titled Seashores, which I memorized without realizing it because I couldn’t stop looking at the pictures. From the title, I learned that the things I brought home from the shore weren’t just things, but a vast system of living beings.

#3 I was not well, and in my thirties I began to feel worse and worse. I went to a series of headache clinics around the US, but no one could find the source of my complaints. I was frustrated with doctors who didn’t know how to treat me.

#4 When I went to press conferences, I was given preference. The sore toe gave me an adrenalin surge and made me feisty. When I shouted out questions, I always got answers while the burly and pushy reporters were ignored.
