For decades, those words from my second-grade teacher lived in my subconscious like a virus. I lived as if I were a "broken child" who needed to be fixed. I doubted my intelligence, and that doubt led me to bookstores, to libraries, and eventually to a lifelong fascination with how the brain learns, stores, and retrieves information.

I am Samuel Arcelay—a veteran Spanish-English interpreter and the author of nearly 20 books. I didn't just learn to read; I learned to decode the intersection of language, law, and neuroscience. My strength is Cognitive Context. I don't just teach you words; I teach you how your brain masters information.
