I. Hate. Math.
Do you like this story?
I'm one of the planet's coolest people because I just horribly hate math. It has been the main source of my frustrations and failures during my high school and college lives. It produced my ONLY failing grade ever. It was also the main reason why I wasn't qualified to graduate with honors during high school.
Math has and will always be my Achilles' tendon. My Waterloo. The Delilah to my Samson. The Watergate to my Nixon. The ant on my favorite dessert. The zit on my nose. The rock on my rice. The skid mark on my undies. Suffice it to say, I hate math.
I can do MDAS type of math in an instant and as well as problem solving. But higher(?) form math like trigonometry, geometry, calculus, algebra and everything else I failed to mention are just loathe-worthy. My 4th yr high school teacher told me that my foundations in math were weak that's why I always struggled a lot. A b*tchy classmate told me once that math was just analysis. Well yeah, whew! I can do that with a sweat.
All I need is simple math. I don't need trajectories or diameters in life. I will not be an engineer or an architect. Oh math. And why are you always associated with geeks anyway?

I don't mean to be negative, but in retrospect, I am like you right now because I remember being very nervous of a terror math teacher in grade four, five and six. Then it was downhill from there. I'm just trying to cope these days.

well, i experienced terror math teachers in high school.
our grade school was different because we have like our own curriculum different to that of the government so we didn't really have the same math subjects kids have here in the country.
