I also realized that after this math class I only have 3 more...and they will all be at my Community College, so at the four year university I will have NO math. Just science, after science, after science Sounds fantastic to me! Also, bri, yeah I guess you can't always pass something no matter how hard you try you won't pass EVERYTHING in college, but it doesn't mean its a lost cause.
Your dad gives some good advice. It is really easy to do well at things, and keep chuggin' along. Its when faced with adversity (can we call math issues adversity?), and how you react, and plug forward that means something.
I struggle with math. Today, looking back, I think it was more of a "I can't do this, so I won't work at it" vs. "I can't do this". I encourage you to work through the math issues, with assistance, a tutor, more than 1.5 hours studying the night before the exam, to make this work.

And, just an FYI, it is totally possible to pass EVERYTHING in college. Many people do. Don't let that become your attitude.
