Week 18 math in 10

I hate math. I hated math for my life and I am not sure if I will ever like math in the future. However, last 4 month of math 10, there are many things I learned and realized. I lost interest in math when I was in elementary school. I tried hard first, but I never got the answer right. Since then, math class was time I just wanted to pass by me. No one told me I have to study and even at school teachers did not care about me. But it was different this time. When I was killing time sitting down in the class thinking about what to do after school, you came to me telling me I have to focus in class lessons and ask questions about what I don’t know. To tell you the truth, I hoped you don’t care about me and leave me alone at first. First two test results show how much I did not care about math. I was not surprised. It was not first time I got bad mark. But I wanted to pass and in order to do test I had to do weekly blog first. I did not feel bad about not doing homework, but weekly blog slowly made me have responsibility over homework. And when I started to do homework, my third test mark got better. Since then, I solved many questions on textbook and found out more questions I solve, better mark I get. It was first time I felt achieve for math and after all I could do it if I try. I was just making excuse to not to do work and tell my parents that I am not just good at math. But even after I realized that I could do it if I try hard, I was not used to working hard so I had to fight with myself every time I opened the math textbook. But I slowly won the fight and passion slowly grew in me. My overall mark is very poor, but at least I can say with confidence I tried my best after chapter 3 test to catch up math skill since elementary school. And you taught me that I can do it if I try. I am not sure if I will ever be good at math. But now I know I might be good one day if I try. For this reason, I think it was a turning point in my life and I don’t think I can forget last 4 month of my life. Thank you.ㅈ
