As A Student...

So I passed my first college class and it was one of my most challenging subjects--math.  I worked very hard and went through an entire yellow legal tablet with cyphering and it paid off!  I am very proud of myself and I actually look forward to the next Algebra class which I hope to start in December.  Returning to school has proven to be a great decision for me.  Passing this class has boosted my confidence and made me feel like I'm not as dumb as I thought I was.  Struggling with algebra has always been the norm for me and now I understand why my Deza enjoys it so much.  I can create word problems! ME! Something I failed at consistently all through school.  Now I find myself opening my math exercise book to tackle a few problems just for fun...crazy, I know! But I honestly enjoy it now. I don't feel intimidated or frustrated and I feel the change in my attitude about myself and what I am capable of learning and doing.  I still have many months and even years before my degree is complete, but this first win has bolstered my confidence. I'm looking forward to tackling Human Physiology.
