Are you a person who loves math? Growing up, I was a lazy math student, I guess. I never could get into math, but the thing about math is that it’s not really something you can just skirt by in. You have to actually apply yourself, and if you were an average student like I was, that didn’t fly. I grew to dread math and in some cases, even feared math. However, as I’ve gotten older, you could say I’ve made peace with math. I understand the value of being proficient at math and it’s even fun sometimes to try my hand at some old problems.
