    Math was never my favorite subject. It always seems to be a hassle to learn. My hate for math could also be from my dad. He used to make me do extra math homework after school. Also having to use your brain sucks.

    As time changed I realised that whole world is working with maths, so I started to work on the problems, gave it a little extra time to understand the problem, then I realised that math just needs little more practice. Even though I still have difficulties understanding it but now I get good grades than I used to.

  9. Hi my name is Sarah Elnaggar. I am 24 years old and I am majoring in Architecture. I plan on doing my Masters in Structural Engineering. This requires a few levels of math, which I will be taking at City Tech. Fall 2019 should be my last semester at City Tech, if I am able to take summer courses.

    Math used to be my favorite subject until I reached high school. All my highest grades was in math until I took Algebra with a terrible math teacher. I passed the class with a C so I never looked back. My second year in HS I took Geometry and I got an A. The teacher was amazing, made sure the student understood before she moved on to the next topic. My third year in HS I took Algebra 2, which was horrible because I never learned anything in Algebra 1. Passed Algebra 2 and didn’t take a math class again until college.

I don’t watch much TV or listen to music so I’m always out of the loop when it comes to things like that.

    Math is and has always been my least favorite subject. This is because it doesn’t fit my mindset and it’s difficult for me to wrap my head around certain concepts. I also feel like it’s too inconsistent when it’s being taught which makes it even harder for people who aren’t naturally inclined towards math to get a grasp on it.
