My sophomore year at UW-Waukesha I \nhad to take two algebra classes. I ended up passing the classes with a \nC. Every day I was with a math tutor to get help for the classes. I \nstruggled with the tutor and class because I didn\u2019t want to do it. I had\n a mind frame that I was going to get a bad grade no matter how hard I \ntried.

Two of \nthose people were retaking it since they didn\u2019t pass the first time. On \nthe first day the instructor was explaining how it\u2019s a very hard course \nand you need all effort into the class to pass. My mindset changed after\n my first class. By seeing students are retaking it and how hard it is, I\n knew I needed to try. After every class I would practice what I learned\n to keep it in my mind. During random times of the day I would grab a \npiece of paper next to me and start writing equations. I put so much \ntime and effort and time into that class that I ended up passing \nstatistics with an A. I am so proud of myself that I was able to get \nover my fear of a class I disliked and pass with the best grade. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proved to me that I can do anything that I put my mind to, and so can you!
