It Doesn't Add Up

 I always hated math. In school when I could not solve a math problem, the teacher made me stay after till nearly dark. Without informing my parents. They were so mad at the school! Here is how math always seemed to me.

I hated doing worksheets in 8th grade. I once missed 9 out of 12 problems because I was so bored.

That was my worst subject. And I never did conquer it and when I took business math because they made me I got out and my senior year with a D because the teacher told me that he saw how hard I struggled to do it and that I just could not end that he was going to pass me so I can graduate. I still to this day anything to do with numbers I can't even memorize it to learn a new phone number text me hours and hours and days and days

"Count me in..." ;-) I was never good with math either. I think I can still manage simple addition or subtraction with pen and paper, but nowadays I don't really trust myself with much more than that, without the help of a calculator... I think I quit math after the first year of secondary high school as I was on a program focusing on languages instead.
