Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
Growing up, my mother would always make sure that I get all my lessons. She believes that there is no room for error when it comes to school works.
To be fair, she divided her time between her full-time job and tutoring me just to make sure that I already know how to read, write my ABCs, and do basic arithmetic.
The latter proved to be a point of struggle for me. Mathematics made me experience my first anxiety attack. I didn't know how to properly multiply until I was in my last years of high school. I also cannot do proper division until my early adulthood.
In this type of education where you are always being timed in accomplishing math problems, it was hell for a child like me.
To say that Math is a waterloo would be an understatement. I got kicked out of a science high school because of my math score. I suffered throughout college because I keep on failing basic Algebra over and over.
I thought I was a bad student.
Then adulthood happened and everything started becoming easier. I understand theories better.
A friend pointed out that sometimes it takes a certain level of maturity to understand concepts. Not everyone can easily get abstracts, anyway.
I just hoped the world was more patient then I would have hated myself less.
