I currently attend the University of the Pacific and I am majoring in Business/Pre-Law.
Personally math has always been both a struggle and a joy of mine. I realized in Jr. High that math was one of my favorite subjects and it just continued from that point on. Entering into highschool I took geometry and it was honestly a review because I took geometry as an 8th grader in
Jr. High. High-school math was very interesting and exciting because the teachers that I had knew the material fairly well and were able to educate the students in an amusing fashion.

This was a monumental mistake because I fell behind and struggled my first semester to even get a B. After learning from my immature mistakes, I decided to study over winter break so that I would be able to stay on top of things this time. Although I did my review, I still ended up with a B, but I wasn’t so stressed this semester. Lastly, senior year was a complete disaster.
Not only because of college apps and basketball, but because I wasn’t prepared to take calculus.
The relationship that I had with AP Calculus AB ultimately made me despise math for quite a while. Truthfully, I did not want to test into Calculus my freshman year at UOP because I didn’t want to go through what I did my senior year in high school. Therefore, I decided not to retest for the math placement test even though deep down inside I wanted to challenge myself. My brother did also advise me to take classes where I felt comfortable in because he didn’t want me to be overwhelmed my freshman year with a class that I didn’t really need to take as a freshman. I am
really looking forward to this Intermediate Algebra class because I want to receive joy
