I want to cry quietly in the corner about what may have been, because I can definitely attest to this.

I quite like math. Love statistics, love algebra, probably would calculus if I took it, but up until middle/high school, math seemed to be some completely alien language that I couldn't begin to comprehend.

But I'm sure this was mostly because I grew up in an impoverished school district, and the textbooks we used had frequent and blatant mistakes in their calculations. And if the teachers (not great teachers to begin with) were teaching to the textbook (as they were, thanks to No Child Left Behind), then students were left with absolute shit for a learning experience.

It took me til graduate school to realize that I actually like math. :(

It's never too late!

It's like music. It may be harder to learn later in life, but it's REALLy never too late. Seriously. I know lots of musicians who started in adulthood who are passionate about it.

It's very unfortunate though that you never got to discover this love for a subject until so late, anon. I feel you! The school system is just... bad. It's designed in a really horrible, horrible way. It's a game of luck. And so many students are even just discouraged from attending school in the first place because of social issues. We've got loads to learn in North America. I'm assuming that's where you're from.

Hah, sorry, you're not an anon. I just didn't see an icon and assumed. Sorry!
