When I hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote‚ I think about my experience is my AP Calculus course. Up until my senior year of high school‚ I naturally succeeded in my math courses. In my first trimester of AP Calculus‚ I struggled with understanding the course material. But more importantly‚ my grade suffered.
