What was your least favorite subject in high school and why was it math?

Haha! I know everyone is different, of course. I’m only joking. That being said, I hated math. It was like a foreign language to me.. actually I did better in my foreign language classes! I’ve always struggled a bit, but it wasn’t until Algebra 2 that I reeeaaalllly lost grasp of it. I couldn’t pay attention long enough to be able to retain even a skosh of it. After so many attempts at the class, my teacher erased my grade and just made me his aide. Then my senior year I took two “math” classes: accounting and stats. I cheated my way through those.

Then I to get to college and fail Algebra I and II miserably. I got tutoring, I watched videos, I stayed after class. Nothing worked, I would break down crying in frustration, and I still do! I have just accepted that my brain doesn’t like math, or paying attention, lol.

Side note, I wasn’t diagnosed or medicated until this year (I’m 33.)
