reminiscing my math difficulties

reminiscing my math difficultiesI guess there are just people who are blessed with good skills in terms of solving Math problems. Well, I don’t belong to that league of people. The truth is, I have difficulties in my Math subject ever since sixth grade. I wasn’t able to practice properly that is why my problem persist until I reached second year college. It was the time where I got a grade of 71 in prelim and 70 in midterms and the passing grade is 75. That is the most dreaded time of my school life history.

I freaked out on what to do. I can’t afford to get a failing grade especially that I have plans to apply for a scholarship the following year. I talked about my problem to my guidance councilor and she told me to get tutor help that can help me get the right Math answers. And so I did. I finished the course with a 75 in my final grade. Not so good, but at least I passed. Although I did not pass the scholarship because of that, I am still happy I will not retake the subject.

Now my sister is facing the same problem. But, the solution is so simple. With the help of technology, she can get help in the web.
