I currently attend the University of the Pacific and I am majoring in Business/Pre-Law.
Personally math has always been both a struggle and a joy of mine. I realized in Jr. High that math was one of my favorite subjects and it just continued from that point on. Entering into highschool I took geometry and it was honestly a review because I took geometry as an 8th grader in
Jr. High. High-school math was very interesting and exciting because the teachers that I had knew the material fairly well and were able to educate the students in an amusing fashion.
Geometry(Freshman Year) and Algebra II(Sophomore Year) wasn’t all that challenging for me because a lot of it was review. Due to the fact that …show more content…
I did well my first two years in high-school, I took my Pre-Calculus class to lightly and I didn’t review over the summer like I did for the first two years.
This was a monumental mistake because I fell behind and struggled my first semester to even get a B. After learning from my immature mistakes, I decided to study over winter break so that I would be able to stay on top of things this time. Although I did my review, I still ended up with a B, but I wasn’t so stressed this semester. Lastly, senior year was a complete disaster.
Not only because of college apps and basketball, but because I wasn’t prepared to take calculus.
The relationship that I had with AP Calculus AB ultimately made me despise math for quite a while. Truthfully, I did not want to test into Calculus my freshman year at UOP because I didn’t want to go through what I did my senior year in high school. Therefore, I decided not to retest for the math placement test even though deep down inside I wanted to challenge myself. My brother did also advise me to take classes where I felt comfortable in because he didn’t want me to be overwhelmed my freshman year with a class that I didn’t really need to take as a freshman. I am
really looking forward to this Intermediate Algebra class because I want to receive joy
again after understanding a concept or doing well on a problem. I look forward going back to the basics and work my way up from there. Some wish you all the best doe wish you all the lane I'm truing to make the hall of fame. The difference between the two is where i belong the temperature is bombing. Its a whole lot of nothing keeps. A little bit of this and a lithe bit of this a little bit of that its a whole lot of nothing that keeps me on track.
