Architecture and Algebra

My favorite class during my high school years was architecture. My teacher would assign various creative projects that would bring out our creativity and challenge us at the same time. I remember thinking to myself that I would be the best architect in Philadelphia. I was even inspired by my teacher to enter contest as a junior in high school. After winning a few competitions I just knew that my fate was cemented. My biggest drawback came from the course that I absolutely despised, Math. I always hated any form of math, which goes hand and hand with Architecture. My Algebra teacher seemed overwhelmed by the number of students in her class and treated us like numbers instead of people (ironic right?). Needless to say, I had no interest in learning Algebra and she had no interest in teaching it. My lack of math skills and dedication to it ultimately hindered my Architecture career. Once I have the opportunity to educate kids, I will always be sure to make them feel like they are valued and can learn despite their reservations.
