Learning is Changing: Math
As a general concept throughout these examinations of my learning in each subject has been the element of story. Obviously this is a main thing math subjects lack. This is perhaps why I find math the hardest subject to master. This year I began math in an honors geometry class. I had been in some form of accelerated math calss since 3rd grade, and it seemed right and appropriate to contine on that track. Unfortunatly the class turned out to be much more difficult than I expected, and I soon fell behind. At semester I decided that taking a class that was too difficult and sacrificing my gpa, just to say that I was in an honors math class wan't worth it. I am now in a regular geometry class, and I am excelling in that class. I would not say that my learning in math has changed all that much, but instead that my attitude towards learning has changed. I have learned that it isn't so much the class you are taking, but how you work, and thrive within that class that really matters.
