      Hi @aworswick
      Great question.

      The simple answer is that everyone is different. So although we all learn the same things, some people will find it easier than others. Although we all develop along similar lines, our brains will not all develop the same way from birth, and they will all be slightly different even before we’re born.

      I hope this answers your question, let me know if you want more info 🙂
