Eww math class. It all started in the 9th grade with my Algebra 2 teacher, myself, and Algebra 2. To this day this class is the reason I have a strong dislike towards Math class. Never in my life have I ever experienced being stuck between a rock and a hard place with useless help. My grade wasn’t bad but it wasn’t a grade that I was use to. So when I started Pre-Calc my life and G.P.A. died. So like I said before The obstacle started in Algebra 2 9th grade in Mr. Wiley’s class. I didn’t grasp not one concept he taught. Between me not being able to grasp the concept he was teaching, which he didn’t know how to do, the class was roody everyday single day. I tried watching different Youtube videos, asking questions, and even went to the…principal. Well the …show more content…

She gave me the whole weekend to think about it. Ever heard about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Well that was made just for me. I couldn’t decide weather or not I should try hard and continue in pre-calc and prove her wrong and that I wasn’t going to fail or move to algebra 2 again and have another chance? Never in my life have I been so indecisive about a situation in school. I tried to tell myself that I’m accelerated in math and I have 2 more years until I could take pre-calc . On the other hand I was embarrassed that I would be taking algebra 2 again and that people that know what I was pre-calc before would judge me. Usually I don’t care about what other people have to say about me but this was a big deal to me. I felt that you really couldn’t get no higher in high school as far as math. Well I talked to my mom about the situation and she didn’t even let the thought float around before she snatched it and gave me an answer. Though I was a little hesitant to go back to algebra 2 I made one of the greatest decision in my high school career ever. So that following Monday I marched down to the guidance counselor with pride and anxiousness. When I finally got to the office Mrs.Vanoverann was

Despite the many hours I worked on the class, I still could only get C’s on the tests. I spent most of my free time correcting my quizzes and rewriting notes from the class. I was struggling- so much that I let my other classes slip away. At home, I would fight with my mother about my grades. She would yell at me saying, “Your brothers could always get As!

In 7th grade, I transferred from Bryan Middle school to Visitation Catholic School and there was not enough room in the accelerated math program, which ultimately set me behind. In high school, I found myself bored in math and knew I needed to challenge myself, so I ended up setting up a meeting with the math department head and we discussed my options. Sophomore year, I ended up taking two math classes, which was not easy; double the test, quizzes and lessons! However, by taking two math classes, I was able to get myself into a higher math class which ultimately was my goal, and achieving it was an amazing feeling.

It wasn’t the hard class or the teacher or my studying style, but it was my mentality that was holding me back. I thought that what I had was confidence, when it was really just arrogance. That arrogance blinded me from the fact that AP calculus BC isn’t a typical high school course, it’s an actual college level course. It dawned to me that

My dad’s job opportunity halfway across the country would later be one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life, so far. I laughed, hysterically on the verge of tears, the moment I left ISC for the first time. Looking at my mom I said, “they don’t offer ap-calc, and I’m signed up for drama.” Not only did I lose my place of belonging, but now I was signed up for classes I didn’t need. I had lied back then, it wasn't just that I couldn't take ap calculus, it was how my mindset was focused on not being able to influence lives.

So, after an agonizing twenty minutes of receiving compliments by strangers about completing the pretest after five minutes and having the teacher call me to the front to demonstrate long division, while she went to have a conversation with the principal about what to do with me, they decided to put me in a class that had both fourth and fifth graders. Right now, I was

Not studying, not prepared, and horsing around was the downfall of my eighth grade year. Being able to take the Algebra 1 High School Assessment was a privilege to me when I was ahead of most of the students in middle school. I was egotistical and thought I had the test in the bag, so sure of myself but in reality I needed to prepare myself like every other student taking the test. Since I was in Algebra 1 my eighth grade year, I was able to take the Algebra 1 High School Assessment earlier than most students. But I started the year off all wrong, knowing that I was going to have the opportunity to take the test I should have set a goal to succeed in passing the test with the highest score even though in reality that might not

Growing up in a private charter school, the teachers really fixated on telling you when and how you were wrong. We were expected to know anything and everything that prevailed to our current grade. Being in that environment really made it hard for me to try. Because trying was leaving possibilities for error and mistakes and that wasn 't acceptable. So, for any difficult problem, I wouldn 't even try.

This year, I applied to be a teacher's assistant with my favorite AP teacher, thinking it would be an easy credit. Little did I know, it would turn out to be an important learning experience for myself. The first week of school our conversations consisted of casual small talk. As time progressed I started to open up to him about problems in my life; my parents recent divorce, my long term depression, and my obsession with my grades. My teacher sympathized with me, telling me his own struggles growing up with his parent's divorce, his battles mental illness, and his poor grades.

I failed because I didn 't take notes and did the math in my head not showing work on tests, and I didn 't do homework (correct answers on math tests were only worth only about ½ a point on tests). Because homework, notes, and showing work were weighted so much just in math, I repeated pre algebra until 10th grade. Always got correct answers on tests. I demonstrated that I could get the right answer without aid (calculaters weren 't allowed until I got into algebra). I demonstrated that I would do the math.

As a college freshmen, there is no doubt that I still have a long ways to go in order to achieve my academic goals. And through this journey, I know that I will encounter highs and lows just as I experienced in the past, most notability in high school. I keenly remember instances around this time where I doubted my abilities when subjects like math was proving to be difficult, even when I was trying to put in effort to stay on track. I was struggling in math because I did not try to identify my weaknesses, and never tried to come up with solutions to fix my problems. Rather, I chose to give up on math and settle with a grade barely passing.
