Well as Ive stated, I am in college. After ten years I am finally able to go back. Ive got a lot on my plate though!! Back in 2000 when I dropped out, my grades weren't so good. Now I'm paying for it. I have to take Math 113 again. College Algebra. Yeah, I barely remember how to work a simple equation much less all this other crap they expect me to know. Now, I have to make at least a C in this class. If not, I will no longer be able to be a part of the nursing program. Nursing is my dream and I feel like its not fair for a math class to keep me from it. But such is life. Nothing is fair right?
So a friend of mine who was a math major and who has graduated and who loves to do math (is she crazy??) has decided to take me on. She is an absolute blessing to me. She is charging me almost nothing because she wants me to pass, and she knows that my finances are well...barely there. So we've been working together and after a 5 hour session the day before my first test, i felt really good about it. Which is amazing because I'm absolutely horrible at math. She literally explains things to me as if I'm a child. Well, I went to take my test Sunday, feeling great about it, that is until I pressed submit and saw that I missed 7 out of 20, which gave me about a 65%. I cried all the way home. I felt like a failure and I knew I let my tutor down.
I sent her a text and told her of the grim news. She told me don't give up. So, I'm not going to. I'm going to conquer this Math113. I have to.
THANK YOU KRISTIE!! I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PROUD!!!
