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

    As a middle school student I was always horrible in math. It truly was my worst subject. Lucky enough for me I was able to pass with the lowest scores possible. As I graduated and entered high school, I realized that it was no longer that easy to pass without knowing the material. So because of this I knew I had to study and take time out to really grasp the methods and learn how to use them.

    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.

    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.

    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.
