Math
class
has
always
been
a
very
challenging
yet
motivating
subject
for
me.
I
find
it
motivating
to
get
high
grades
in
this
class
but
it’s
quite
challenging
to
get
one.
First
you
study
this
and
you
practice
that
but
when
the
test
paper
is
now
at
your
hands,
you
then
realize
that
what
you
studied
was
far
different
or
far
too
“unchallenged”
compared
to
the
questions
in
the
test
paper
and
all
you
can
do
is
squeeze
the
guts
out
of
your
brain
just
to
pass
this
two
hour
tribulation.
So,
I
tend
to
ask
myself
why
and
what
are
the
problems
concerning
my
math
that
I
can’t
get
high
grades
on
this
subject.
As
I
take
my
math
test
I
found
two
main
reasons
why
I
have
problems
with
my
math.
The
first
problem
is
that
what
the
teacher
discusses
is
far
easy
from
what
she
gives
in
a
quiz.
When
I
first
had
my
math
class
here
in
Ateneo,
the
teacher
was
discussing
about
radicals
and
exponents
then
she
gave
us
exercises
that
were
far
complex
from
what
she
discussed.
She
discussed
to
us
the
basic
rules
like
an
.
am
=
an+m
and
then
she
gave
us
exercises
that
look
like
aabcdefk+lmnopqrstuvwxyz.aasdkowkoyc/aliweuaf.
Another
problem
I
found
was
more
of
within
me.
I
realized
that
I
tend
to
look
at
what’s
the
problem
with
my
math
teacher
and
I
don’t
even
look
at
what’s
the
problem
within
me.
I
then
found
out
that
if
I
had
given
more
time
and
more
patience
in
math,
it
would
be
easier
for
me
to
answer
a
test
and
that
it
would
be
easier
for
me
to
get
high
grades.
If
I
gave
math
more
time
and
patience,
problems
that
look
like
aabcdefk+lmnopqrstuvwxyz.aasdkowkoyc/aliweuaf
would
easily
look
like
an
