Since I graduated High School and now in college, it is a big difference. The work load is so much more and a lot harder than High School work. I never really failed at any subject in school, besides Math. Math is a subject that I always had to work longer and way harder to do. It just doesn't come easy to me. I sometimes get so frustrated doing it that I will start to cry. My sophomore year of high school I remember being in a really hard math class that I was failing. I would fail every test that I took in the class. This taught me how to become stronger in this subject though. I knew I had to work way harder in math, so I would always stay after with my teacher for extra help. I knew that I had to. It taught me a really good lesson though. It taught me that failure actually made me succeed. By the time the mid term came for that class I scored a really good grade on it. I was so happy.
Now, in college, I find to see that I am still failing at Math. I am only in Math 95, the lowest math class here that they offer. I have trouble doing some problems, and math labs. I feel that I don't fully understand the material that I'm being taught in the class. I even try and work with some of my friends but I still seem to have trouble. I have talked to the teacher about getting extra help and she is all for it. I am thinking about going to a tutor as well. I feel that if i work hard and push myself that I will become better at math. If I practice the problems over and over that It will soak into my brain and I won't have as much trouble.
I intend to get extra help and work harder with my math problems. My mid term is coming up next week and I am going to study extra hard and make sure that I know the material to the full extent so I can receive above a 90 on the test. My goal is to get anything higher than a 90. I know I can push myself and have that motivation to work harder in order to achieve my goal. I have faith in myself and I hope to become better at Math by getting extra help or having a tutor. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it! I would love to be a better math student, sometimes it's hard because students are better at some subjects than others, but I know that it's going to teach me a lesson and as time goes on I hope to become better at this subject !
