I Am Mathematically Challenged
as a little kid i went to the school for gifted kids in my town. i had to take this massive test to qualify, and the only thing i had a hard time with was math.
so, as a young adult i got fed up with struggling in college and went to get a full battery of tests in the hope i could use the accessibility office on campus to get help.
well, what do you know? the testing showed me to have a signifigant learning disability in the area of numbers. when i told my dad, he said, "Well, the lady who tested you as a kid did say that you would always have trouble in math." gee, thanks for telling me, dad. all these years i felt i was an idiot for not getting numbers, and now you tell me you knew all along! sheesh!
