Woman with super memory named
Her super memory started way back in 1980. She was 14 back then and every detail about her life since then was never missed. Some may call this a gift but for her, she considers this as a curse that she could not even turn off. Often, she could not relax because of the constant flooding of memory in her brain.
She stayed unnamed for the past years as experts studied her nature and now, she is out and known as Jill Price. She described her life as a split screen TV that showed the present and the past all at the same time. Common triggers such as smells, songs or place names trigger her memory.
The condition was very rare that scientists had to make a name to fit her condition - Hyperthymestic Syndrome.
If that syndrome happened to me, I guess I will be a standout in every class that I attend to but hey, everything has a consequence.

Yes, I seen this show. It was very interesting. I feel sad for the lady. I think remembering everything would be too much, especially if memories were bad. I have some bad memories that I have repressed details of these memories. I don’t think I would want to know details of my bad memories because what I know is already difficult to deal with. I remember bits and pieces of the abuse but I forgot some details, thank god, Right? My sister remembers a lot of details. Oh poor me, I was molested, poor poor me? Who cares right? Nobody cares! And it was the past so I should GET OVER IT, right? My mom and brothers always preached that and never cared enough to say I am sorry that this happened to you, Are you doing o.k? SOB SOB. I just kidding I am not sad. I never cry.
