Personal Narrative: A Career In Math
Math has always been difficult for me. I have struggled with how to figure out problems and how I can do my best in math class. I was really worried about my grade in math because I wanted to succeed in all my classes in order to get accepted to my first college choice. I started figuring out the math problems in my head and practicing them at home.I used my calculator and computer to help me to solve my math problems. I soon found out that Math wasn't as difficult as I thought it was because I had learned the steps to solve the equations. No matter how difficult the problems were, I always persevered through them.That is how I learned that no matter how hard something is, with practice and repetition you can achieve your best potential.

    MAT117 Week 9 DQ 2

    The hardest concept for me was simplifying quadratic equations. I was unsure when to use certain steps and simplifying odd square roots was difficult for me. I could have done more studying on the study plan and even online. I also should have attended the math tutoring available at our local University of Phoenix. I am not one to just guess answers without trying my hardest. I can not stand to have a problem and not find the solution. I also noticed one…

    Math/156 Week 8 Assignment

    The most difficult concept for me was in week eight when we solved fractions, decimals, percent and real number problems. This concept was difficult because I had to spend more time on them. My biggest struggle was fractions and decimals because I do not use them on a daily basis. When I am helping a struggling child with fractions, I will use food, candy, or manipulative to teach them fractions in addition to helping the student in the classroom by letting him…

    Personal Narrative: My Pre Calculus Class

    One thing that I think that sets me apart from other candidates applying to the University of California is that I put my heart and soul on every assignment, projects and exam. I work hard and put time on the assignment, projects and exam. I also give my full effort. Whenever I give my heart and soul on the assignment or projects, I am able to learn more than I should learn. I was able to discover new facts that I did not know. For example, in my Pre Calculus class, we did a project about global warming. I have to research about global warming and predict total population, average temperature, carbon dioxide emission in the next 50 and 100 years from now. I took my time and read articles about global warming. While looking at the statistic, I was asking myself what is cause of increasing population, temperature, and carbon dioxide emission. I realize those three factors are causing global warming. I made sure that I did the math correctly. I also made sure that I explained the definition, cause, and effect of the global warming. I gave my heart and soul by giving my best effort and making sure my data and information…

    Personal Narrative: My Ability In Math

    In general, I would describe my ability in math as average. I did well in elementary, but middle school was when I started having difficulties. When I took math I, I mostly got B’s and C’s on my tests, because I had a hard time understanding the material, or asking the teacher if I needed help with a certain concept. Overall, I think my average grade for math would be a B, but I would like to improve this year and get an A for a final grade. My parents definitely contributed to my overall success. If I didn’t have their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I disliked learning trigonometry and graphing functions. I took math II online, so I wasn’t able to really use a worksheet and graph any problems for myself. I liked the substitution…

First, Im working on getting good grades in every class, I want to work on having and maintaining a high competitive GPA.

    College Admissions Essay: Math Problems In High School

    Sometimes the most obvious person is the one you forget to ask. I was a fourteen year old boy, going to middle school in San Antonio, Texas. I was in advanced classes, and had never gotten below a high B on my report card. Throughout my whole life, I had only failed a few assignments and, to be honest, wasn’t used to having to work hard. When things started getting harder, I wasn't ready. I was able to pass math with help from my parents, who showed me that parents are your biggest supporters.…

    Personal Narrative: Algebra

    For a very different reason then most of you have given, my most valuable course was Algebra. I had been out of school for quite some time and had completely forgot how to do an algebraic equation. I had tried to take the class on-line at one point and withdrew. I was petrified of ruining my GPA. At a later date, I attended class on site and had a wonderful instructor that actually taught the class. You didn't have to google how to do it. This class taught me that I can do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. I still today remind myself that I can successfully accomplish things that I know nothing about. I received an A- in that class.…
