I always needed more attention when it came to that subject. My parents remember me having issues with math and falling behind in math class. My parents told me about how my third grade teacher Mrs.Pedraza called home and expressed her concern. I remember my dad went to walgreens that night and bought me flashcards and a white board. Everyday I came home from school and worked on my math homework. My parents said they did not want me to fall behind and even talked to my teacher so I could stay after school with her. They were really involved in helping me that I did not feel ashamed. In the end it worked out because they spent excessive amounts of money on tutoring and helping me do homework that I finally got how to divide fractions.

  • Personal Narrative: Algebra In High School

    1300 Words  | 6 Pages

    In eighth grade I was put into an algebra class that was usually reserved for the first year of high school, and failed it miserably. The next year in high school I chose an elective that would, excluding my AP and honors courses, place me with the same people in all of my core classes for all four years. This meant that I had algebra with people I had never talked to before and did not really talk to them for the next three year. I digress, however, because not knowing or talking to anyone may have been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. Algebra was my second period meaning the sun was not that blinding light at noon that gave everything in the desert a yellowish tint because of the light reflecting off of the beige and brown colors surrounding us, it was not the early morning sun where everything is washed out and the sky is a burst of muted colors, but it was a bright light that allowed the sky to be its truest blue and nothing else was tainted by reflection or refraction.
