Challenges

this year, I must admit, was one of the most intense of all my years of math. Last year, math was our key subject, as we did nothing but math. Coming this year, I thought that maybe I would pass the Algebra test, but alas, I failed, and didn't. Instead, they stuck me into pre-algebra, and I was put with the other kids in my surroundings. At this point, I believed that I was probably able to understand everything, but I was wrong again. I know realise how cocky I was at the beginning of the year. It took me a while to adjust to the new teachings, as well as school in general. Looking back now, I can say I am quite proud of coming this far. Pre-Algebra is no laughing matter. There are still some parts that I continue to have trouble with.
      For instance, I'm having a lot of trouble with graphing. When the change of subs occurred, we were quite disorganized. Our things were jumbled, and we had to switch from one standard to the next. When we finally settled on one sub, we had the opportunity to ask her our questions. Graphing is my ultimate hard point, because I'm really confused on where to put the points, and if they have a negative or positive slope. The equations with the graphs are even more confusing to my eye.
