मुझे लगता है कि कुछ बच्चों के लिए, उनकी प्रतिभा लिखित शब्दों में नहीं होती। स्कूल की अधिकांश पढ़ाई लिखित शब्दों और इस बात पर आधारित होती है कि आप वर्तनी (spelling) या पढ़ने में कितने अच्छे हैं। कम उम्र से ही, अगर आपसे कहा जाए कि आप ठीक से लिख या पढ़ नहीं सकते, तो आपको थोड़ा मूर्ख महसूस कराया जाने लगता है।
I think, for some children, your skills don't lie in written words. A lot of school is based around written words and how good you are at spelling or reading. From a young age, if you're told you can't spell or read very well, you're made to feel a bit stupid.

मुझे व्यायाम करना सचमुच बहुत पसंद है। मुझे योग करना भी पसंद है, जो मेरे शरीर को स्वस्थ और तंदुरुस्त रखता है।
I do love exercise. I do love yoga, which keeps my body nice and healthy.

अपने मन को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए, मैं हर सुबह ध्यान (meditation) लगाने की कोशिश करती हूँ, जिसे मैं धीरे-धीरे अपनी आदत बना रही हूँ, और यह महसूस कर रही हूँ कि हर दिन ऐसा करना वाकई बहुत सकारात्मक होता है।
To keep my head healthy, [I'm] trying to meditate every morning, which is something I'm sort of getting into more, realizing that it's really positive to do every day.

मुझे डिस्लेक्सिया है। जब मैं स्कूल में थी, तब इसे आज की तरह ज्यादा पहचाना नहीं जाता था; मुझे बहुत खुशी है कि आज लोग इसके बारे में काफी जागरूक हैं।
I've got dyslexia. When I was in school, it wasn't really recognized as much as it is today; I'm really glad that people are a lot more aware of it now.

यह समझने में मुझे बहुत लंबा समय लगा कि मेरी बुद्धिमत्ता उस बात से कहीं अधिक है जो मुझे बताई गई थी, और यह कि मैं बेहद रचनात्मक हूँ तथा चीज़ों को चित्रों के रूप में देखती हूँ।
It's taken me a long time to appreciate that my intelligence is greater than what I was told and that I am very creative, and I see in pictures.

विश्वविद्यालय में ही मुझे बताया गया था कि मुझे डिस्लेक्सिया है। इससे मुझे पढ़ाई के क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ने का वह आत्मविश्वास मिला जिसकी उम्मीद मैं हमेशा से अपने आपसे करती थी। मुझे लगता है कि यह एक तरह का संघर्ष था और साथ ही अपनी क्षमताओं को लेकर मेरे अपने नकारात्मक विचार थे।
It was only in university I was told that I was dyslexic. It kind of gave me the confidence to be able to pursue academia in the way that I always thought I could. I guess that was a bit of battle and just my own kind of negative thoughts about what I can achieve.
