Finance Project
Growing up I never really understood the point of math. I never really paid attention and it was always a difficult class for me to grasp. The older I got the more important I realized it was. Whether it be a little or a lot math is needed everyday. For me personally math will become very important the further into school I get, especially statistics. My goal is to get a bachelors degree in Biotechnology and statistics is very important in that degree. From taking this course I have realized that this is one of the areas that I need to work on. Taking this class was a good refresher for me since I had not taken a math class since Jr. year of high school. I felt like I was able to learn a lot and grasp concepts better than I could back in the day.
I know in the future that learning finances will also be very beneficial. I have already been through the process of purchasing a car and there were a lot of things that confused me and weren't very clear either. After the financing portion of this class it made things a lot more clear to me. Hopefully this can be the same when I purchase a house one day. Finances are very important and should be to everyone else as well. This class was able to show me weak points that I need to work on as well as were I am striving in math. Most importantly it showed me were math can benefit me in my life outside of school. I hope that this can be the starting point of me excelling in math.
I think for me personally the best thing to come out of this class was that I actually enjoy math now. Like I stated previously math was always a drag and difficult for me. I have come to understand it better throughout this semester and actually found each problem to be a little puzzle. It became entertaining. Being able to overcome something that used to really be something I struggled with mightily was the most rewarding thing to come out of this class. I might not have had as high of an overall grade as I would have liked but what made me happy was that I tried and understood. To go from understanding hardly anything to understanding most of it was better than the letter grade I had received. I hope that in my future endeavors with math it will also land me a higher grade as well.
