Many people think that Mathematics is a HARD and DIFFICULT subject. Uhhmm well for me, MATH helps me build and establish myself for who I am. At early age,and as a LONER back then, I am wondering why my classmates are always gathering in one corner of the classroom chatting, laughing and being amazed by one person sitting in front of them. One time, I tried to join them and I've noticed that they are listening very well to my classmates talk. I suddenly ask them, "what are you doing?". My other classmates stared at me like they want to tell me that "HELLo??"
You don't know what's happening here? I was just curious why they are gatherer there and i also want to be part of that group. I do have friends of my own but as a loner in my childhood days, I always wanted to get the attention of others. There are times that by seeking attention from people, I tend to be scolded by my teachers. There are also times that my classmates will ignore me. These things happen every single day when I was in grade school One day a teacher approached and talked to me about my problem. I told her my intentions why i'm doing things to get their attention. She told me that all i have to do is be myself and try to know more about myself. Things that I know that can make others and myself proud. With this motivation, I ask one of my classmates why they are always gathering in a corner of a classroom and he told me that its because they are having a hard time understanding math problems. Specifically, word problems. That gave me an idea to get the attention of the people in school. I ask my parents about math, why math is hard for most people, and etc. The response i got from my parents are the positive outlook in mathematics, i did not hear them say words or phrases that mathematics is hard or difficult. Those words from my parents boost my interest and start to
like math. I always ask my parents about the different techniques I can use in learning math. There are also times that they will give me situation and problems that I should solve on my own. Those things helped me appreciate math more. Back in school, when we had our math exam, I was surprised with the result because i got the 2nd to the highest score. They next week, exam again and i am part of the people who got the perfect score, and this happen consistently until the school year end. I felt like im going to love math more because my classmates and teachers starts to praise me with my skills in math. Mathematics is not only a subject for me, but a partner that help me build my self esteem and character.
