Every time I walk into my math classroom, I get a pounding migraine, not because I don’t like the class, but because math doesn’t come easy to me. The lesson we worked on was integers. Integers scare me for some reason. We worked on it for only one week, and then on Friday, we had a test.
I tried so hard on that test, but I failed it. I was so ashamed of myself. I knew that I just had to try harder.
When we checked our tests the next week, I noticed what I did wrong; I redid every problem for a better grade, and it improved my report card. So, now I know to just try a little harder, and I will get better.
