Math skills

When we had our discussion on Thursday one of the topics that we did not get to discuss in class was that females are less likely to be good in math and science. I do not believe that this is true. Women are just as smart in math and science. My last years of high school my math and science teachers were women and they knew the subjects well and they were very good at teaching it. Also, I know that many girls did very well in math and science.

Personally I did very well in science, but I was never any good with math. I do not get math at all, it’s complicated and I just don’t want to mess with it because I am not interested in it. It could be biological because my parents and my grandparents are not that great with their math skills either.

 However, my brother is very good with math and he even thinks that algebra is fun. My parents have no idea where he got such knowledge for math because like I said nobody in our family is good at math. A few years ago my mom and I were watching something on the news and they were giving information about a study that women who eat a lot of fish while they are pregnant their babies will be more intelligent in school work.  When my mom heard this she said that it made sense because she ate a lot of herring while she was pregnant with my brother. I told her, “Well, I guess you didn’t eat any fish while you were pregnant with me.”

I sure that if I would try to commit myself to keep at math then I would probably be able to do better in it, but I know that math is not for me and since I am done with it I am concentrating on other things.
