Hi, I took onboard your comment and checked out my local adult learning college. I've signed up to do a maths course, I'm going to see how it goes and try not to freak out or drop out!

I just think if I can make sense of day to day maths, I'll consider it time well spent. I would absolutely love to understand science and its mathy language, the mini test I had to had graphs to interpret (which I couldn't) so who knows....?

Anyway, thanks for the kind words, your encouragement and the friendly kick up the arse 👍 😍

That’s wonderful!!! Good job and good luck! And remember it’s ok not to get it immediately, math can be hard because it’s like a language but also a way of thinking. Also, I’ve never met a teacher who isn’t happy to spend office hours explaining things differently to someone who genuinely just wants to understand the course material.

I wish more people would pursue adult education the way you’re doing now, the pursuit of knowledge is one of the greatest virtues.
