Mathematics has never been my strongest subject in school, but it is the subject that inspires me the most. Math is an essential subject to learn because it enforces critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, for me, Math was a difficult subject to love because I struggled to understand the concept of it. But now, it has continually sparked an interest in me that continues to grow as I learn more about the beauty and usefulness of mathematical formulas in our daily lives and how I can use it to help other people. I was not always good in math. In elementary, while I was passing all of my other classes, my math grade was barely surviving. I was not interested in math because I found it too difficult and boring. Aside from that, at school, nobody offered me the support that I believe I needed to succeed in math. My mom noticed that I was struggling in math so she decided to enroll me in a tutoring center, that specializes in math, called Kumon. At first, I hated it because I was forced to do a packet every single day to practice my math skills. I remember hating almost every single minute that I spent answering those packets. However, as time passed and a hundred worksheets later, I noticed that my skills were improving and so did my math grade. I …show more content…
It is a hard class but it challenges me to study harder every day so that I can solve any mathematical problem properly. I believe that my math journey throughout the years has prepared me to take AP Calculus. The obstacles that I had to go through, from figuring out how to add and subtract fractions to finding the derivative of a function, has prepared me to take on harder math topics with confidence. By taking AP Calculus, I am giving myself a challenge that I need to overcome, so that I can prove to myself that I can do anything as long as I put my mind, soul, and body into
