Have you ever failed a class at a university or college level? (if you went)

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yup, Math (Algebra). I failed because I’ve always failed at math, I dont “get” math, I dont speak math, I dont comprehend math. My number one problem is that I dont care to know math. I feel that I could learn just about anything that I want to dedicate myself to… math, puts me to sleep quite quickly. I could write an excellent research paper and for the most part I’ve been awesome with Science. When it comes to Math… my brain shuts off and says “Let’s go somewhere else”. My resolution was to find a math credit I could actually sit through. Don’t try to drag yourself through something you cannot tolerate – you will be miserable and you will likely fail. To me, if your heart isn’t in it, what’s the point?
