Maths is my worst subject. I never really did well for it after primary school. I actually like maths as a subject but cannot apply the concepts on the exam, especially in a problem sum. However, I recently got a tutor and since than, my maths has been improving steadily. Secondary two maths is much harder than secondary one maths. I know that if I do not get my foundations right, many subject combinations will not be open to me. However, when I opened my maths workbook to do homework today, I was dumbfounded. Despite all my practice, the questions all looked really strange to me. On closer inspection, I realized that some of the questions will actually quite easy if thought over. Despite that, there was one question I just could not make head or tail out of it. I brooded over it for fifteen minutes. After careful consideration, I decided not to waste time on this question and wait for my sister to return and ask her and use the precious time to do my other homework, which piled to almost a mountain high. My sister came back one hour later. I then asked her how to do the question. Surprisingly after her detailed explanation, the question became ridiculously easy. However, she berated me as this would be considered one of the easier questions in the examination and I could not solve it. How was I going to achieve my dream of entering triple science if this continued? I decided the only way was to work even harder than before!
