184. Math requirements

slowed me way down starting in high school. I managed to pass the basic algebra class but my grades were too low for me to be able to take any high school chemistry. At that time I didn't really care, as I figured I was going to be an Art major. When I got to college that path changed and I was looking at requirements of 3 different kinds of chem to graduate. Which meant I had to start with a remedial chemistry before I could go on to the required ones.

There was also a college requirement of 2 math classes that were really basic--I don't remember but something like calculus and geometry. I would sign up for the first class over and over, and always drop it the first week. Finally I was getting down to the wire as to being able to get the classes done in time to be able to graduate. I literally found a high school math book and just kept repeating the problems over and over for practice. I managed to get B's in the math classes but I honestly don't think I ever really understood the concepts. It's very frustrating.

But at least now I'm 'old' and retired and am back to only needing to do the basic math, so it's all good, lol. Hugs to all of the number-challenged among us!
