Me and Math

This story started when i was at Elemantary school. When I at Elemantary school, my mother often ask me to shopping in the market, and fortunately i already able to counting in the school,and I also like the lesson that relate with counting. Everythings that i saw in the market, i would count it, like the total of yellow tofu, the mujair fish, chicken, and until the money that my mother have to pay to the seller. Because my habbit, since that I started to love mathematics, we can see from my report of my learning in school.

The other factor that build my good point of view about mathematics is building my mindset about mathematics it self. The mindset built by people that close with me, like my Elemantary school teacher, and my beloved father. My father always teach and explain me, when i stacked to do my homework, and this homework seems easy when i do with my father. The other hand, my teacher always give a motivation to all of his students, especially about this subject. The other things that make me more love mathematics is when my teacher teach me about “counting fastly” using finger. The all seems easy when i know counting fastly technique.

Different place, different situation.  Different with my elemantary situation, when I Junior and Senior High School are decreasing my good point of view about mathematics indirectly. It happens because classroom situation, my friends, and also all of my mathematics teacher. But, only some of teacher that give me positive suggesting about my relationship with this scariest subject in the world.

Since I Junior and Senior High School, Ifeel that my score about mathematics decreasing slowly although when I Junior High School i still keep my score not decreasing streamly, but when I Senior High School I failed to keep my score. We can look based my UN score, my Senior High School UN score so bad, and I am so disappointed with my self, especially for my bad mathematics UN score.

However, the interesting of my relationship with mathematics is when i take mathematics education at Sampoerna School of Education. It is so contras with my experience about mathematics at Junior and Senior High school. I know that my mathematics score is so very bad, but my mindset that built since Elemantary school about mathematics is not fading until now, although it is not strength like before. One thing that still in my self, If i meet with any mathematics problem even that is so very hard for me, I will to solve this with all of my ability until I get the answer.
