** Enthusiasm Essay **

I enjoy learning about mathematics; mathematics has always been my favorite subject in class. I try learning more by doing all of my work and doing as much as I can in extra work, and that is basically the only class I don’t fall asleep in or let the teaching skills the teacher gives go in one ear and out the other. I pay close attention and try to succeed in my mathematics class. I challenge myself by trying to do things I don’t know how. Therefore, when I take a test and there is something I don’t understand, I still try the problem to see if I was close or didn’t do so good. I also have to show my work on all of the problems. I feel that when I don’t show work I wouldn’t know what to do or that I wouldn’t remember how I solved the problem. The activities I like to do to help myself is when I go shopping, I like to add everything and include the tax that way I know where I am and how much I am spending. Sometimes when I do this I am usually short by a few cents or right on. Being that mathematics is my favorite subject and that I want to be a registered nurse, mathematics is a big part in that career and being that that’s my favorite subject, I actually wouldn’t have too much of a problem with that.
