What's that tell you?

I can understand Greek and Hebrew, but math (not basic stuff) kills me.

Algebra is useless to me.

I absolutely HATED math all the way through highschool. I struggled like nothing else. I dreaded it when I started college again, I couldn't even test into college algebra, I had to start back a few classes at "math for stupid people". lol I worked my tail off and about half way through my second semester, it all clicked. I've decided I like it now. This is a good thing, engineering pays better than finance! lol And I'm more likely, as a woman, to get a nearly free education in engineering.

You're a woman?!

Well, I never!


Basic math was no problem for me. It was the algebra and the junk after it that slayed me.

I know. Oh the shame of it all.

I dropped out 2 years later too. I can't decide which is more shameful. Teachers weren't too happy when I quit...I guess A honor roll students don't do that very often?
