Growing Up with Math-A-Phobia, Living with Math-tose Intolerance

CONTENT WARNING: description of injury/blood. This is a memoir/personal narrative essay that I wrote for my Junior English class back in 2015. I ended up winning a Silver Key for it in the Maine Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and had it published in a book: Maine Teen Writing 2016, a collection of works written by middle and high school students. It has its flaws, but this memoir helped me take the first big step to becoming a "real" writer. Enjoy! -Cierra L Anctil (P.S., I'm new to this whole Wattpad thing, so I couldn't figure out how to "tab" new paragraphs. Sorry if the formatting seems odd because of that!)
