Math. The one subject that I hate. Sure English isn't fun, and humanities(Social Studies and French) is really boring but I actively despise math. I should probably explain.

It started in grade four, when we started learning multiplication. I was fine until we had to memorize the multiplication table. I couldn't. Still can't. Don't have it memorized. I have no idea what 6x8 is off the top of my head. I could know if I worked at it but I don't really want to. After that math just never clicked with me. I can do it, and understand the concepts, it just takes me a lot longer than most people to do it. For example, my dad asks me what is 19+23(=42). Here I have to think and remember how to add. This will take me around five minutes. Then I will do the addition. This takes me around one minute. So where most people take one minute to do a simple addition problem, I take six. This also applies to multiplication, division and subtraction, which makes math a living hell for me.

This is my life. It sucks. But I wouldn't be anyone else in the world.
