Words are better than Numbers.

I'm almost sick of blogging on my life. But here I go again.



I really suck at Math. That's the truth. I think probably because it's what I've been told my whole life...It's sorta in my family "history" that we do NOT understand math...and we never will. My Dad's Parents were never good in Math at school, and neither were my Mom's parents.I'm not really exaggerating here, my whole life, my sisters, and my parents kept on telling me "Evie, math is going to get really hard, so don't expect to love it your whole life." I really liked math until 8th grade, and that's where it just kind of got messed up. I told myself I wouldn't be able to make it sub-consciously. Which, really isn't good. Now I'm embarrassed when I'm with anybody and really have to do any sort of equation. I just feel, dumb. And people then blame my parents, since I was/am home schooled.
Which is partially kinda right, it's known that homeschoolers 80% of the time really aren't the best in math.


On a lighter note, my whole entire family is known for our ability to write amazingly. But, yet, I've also been told my whole entire life that I could write if I put my brains to it. My Dad still corrects me whenever I write a paper, (which I hate) but at least I know I'm good at something.

My Dad had really hard English teachers in school, and still, my Dad loves writing papers. He wants to go back to College again so he can write more papers.

I hope for when I have kids, that I remember to tell them that they can be good at anything they want to be good at. I love my parents, but the way they did some things for their kids, probably weren't the best choices. I could probably be one of those "Smart Alec" people who shove it into your face that they know everything about math. Haha.
