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.
That sure sounds like me. I'll push my brain until it litterally hurts. I had a tutor last year, and still only got 53% in math. I only passed because I got 64% on my final exam. If I would have gotten lower...Well, I guess I'd be in math 10 this year.

That's why I really need to pass this year, so that I don't have to take math next year. Of course, I only have 13% in math right now, so that isn't exactly passing... I can't wait until they switch my teacher.
