Math has always been a nightmare to many people. They are so scared of the subject that they even avoid taking up college courses that have mathematics in the curricula. Communication, in general, is a popular choice of arithmetic haters. Speech communication must be then one of them. And so, must I be a loser in math? No way! I have been a math aficionado during my elementary and high school days. I even joined several competitions in this field. And during college, though we were not required to do so, I took six units of math where I got 1.0 in each subject. Amazing! And now that mathematics has been out of my custom for the past 3 years, I am proud to say that it has never left my system. I have proven this in my LAE review. While most of my classmates have already forgotten solving many of the problems, I take pleasure in answering each item in the modules. I do not recall ‘few’ of the formulae anymore, which is but normal for a person who has no practice in math for more than 3 years (duh! defensive!). But when the instructor initiates the solution, I can always follow. Haha!
In life, letting go of something that a person has truly loved will really be arduous, if not impossible. And so, I will always love math in spite of what my degree has entailed. It seems unlikely, but I am a Speech Communication graduate, who is a math enthusiast as well. An irony you say? To me, they are of harmony.
