This is still embarrasing, even at my age..
Even in grammar school I had a severe math problem. Now I realize it was a sort of Number dyslexia. A's and B's in Jr High with everything but..you guessed it, math. In high school, I had a math tutor for 2 years and barely got by. Geometry almost was the death of me. I easily passed History and English courses. I carry a calculator for anything having to do with numbers. My parents knew I was doing my best. the teachers always wanted to see them becuase they thought I forged signatures on failing math tests, but they hepled and supported me. I just had/have a mental block. My brain goes dead. As smart as I was in everything else, having poor math skills ruined my SAT scores for college. I always wanted to go into medicine..human or vet. But I found my niche in something else and did great for 32 years. Until I got laid off.
