Academic Enrichment

For my academic enrichment blog I decided to attend a math 2207 workshop. I chose this option not for the sole purpose of this blog but also because I was falling behind in class and needed some help. Growing up, I loved math and numbers. I always seemed to do better in my math class than any other subject. However, that all changed very quickly. From the first day of calculus I was completely lost. I struggled to keep up with the professor and her lessons. To catch up, I would try to teach myself the material at home but it  was never really successful. I would either give up or fall asleep. After  my first math exam last week I realized that I might need some help. This is why I decided to attend the math workshop. Although I was hesitant to attend since it started at 10 in the morning on a Saturday, (which is way too early for me on a weekend) I still decided to go and I am glad I did. Our tutors name was Abraham Tai and he was an amazing tutor. He explained the answers thoroughly and went over several problems with the group. He made sure everybody understood what was going on and that nobody was left behind. I remember watching him work out a complex problem all in his head in a matter of seconds. After seeing that, I realized that Abraham Tai is the real deal and that I was in the right place. I understood more calculus in those two hours than I have in the past weeks. I am very pleased that I attended and experienced this workshop because now I will be more willing to attend the following ones. I also would like to attend a one on one tutoring session too. I did not like the feeling of being unprepared while taking my first exam in class. I hope to be more prepared and confident when taking my next exam and I know will be if I keep attending these workshops.
