June 16 – Most Hated Subject
Back in the days, I was simply wondering what does Math has to do in the grand scheme of things that it has to be included in our College syllabus?! I’d like to veer away from it, as much as possible, + the less I have to do with it, the better off I’ll be. It was only later on, I was in Senior year I think, when I realized + (hated to admit it) that Math is actually one of the most useful school courses + that these subjects are actually put in place not only for us to learn, but to let us use a little more of our brain + exercise those sluggish brain muscles.
One of my worst experience (+ one of the most profound, probably!) in Math was back in my Senior year in high school, I was in the top section, see (excluding the science high school department) + there was a time, in one of the major examinations (was it the 2nd or 3rd periodical test?) that I flunked my exams + almost got a zero score (yes, I hate to admit it, I was that terrible!). I actually scored 5 points out of god-knows-how-many items in that exam. My professer, Mr. Magaling (+ he does live by his surname!) approached me + said “Muntik mo na ma-perfect ung exams, ah?!”
I was a bit embarrassed (just a bit, since I’ve thrown in the towel with Math all those many years ago!) + challenged at the same time. My professor, bless his heart, did not say those remarks to mock me or make fun of me, but I guess, as I realize now, to challenge me to do better the next time. I was actually guilty. See, come cramming exams time, I’d always assign Math to be reviewed last (read: I do not review at all!), I prioritize those subjects that I know I’ll do well, since Math is a hopeless case for me + I am just bound to fail!
Rose to the occasion, I did! Come next exams time, I made sure that I reviewed + understood every bit of the topic – we were studying the introduction to Trigonometry back then + I force myself to study + understand radius, 2¶r, median, radian + a whole lot more! Needless to say, I got a better score compared to my dismal performance from the last exams + I gave myself a pat in the back.
But I still hate Math! 😉

i hated those dang class cards as well! felt like i am in line for an execution or something. augh. glad you rose to the challenge of math. i didn’t. which is why my math grades were always mediocre. LOL
It’s amazing how we seemed to have done it all in college but now we’re not welcoming any questions about Math. Not anymore! Lol.
I wish I can say I LOVE MATH, but nope, NOT really! My husband does, though! 🙂
