In response to Ms. Mariner's post

I think that this post is about trying different things and more importantly, get out of your comfort zone by listening to the advice of others. The Peonies represent something you are familiar with. The roses are something that you don’t have much experience with, or don’t like doing. What is important is that you listened to your neighbor and tried something new, even though you might not have enjoyed it at first. But it grew on you and soon enough you began to enjoy the roses and the peaches. After a while, you can sit back and look on the final result and be glad that you took that advice and acted on it. I think that this is relevant to math class because if we don’t come to class ready to learn, listen and adapt, then we can never succeed. We need to come in to math class with the attitude that we will get something out of this class and we will learn. 


Personally, I have always felt neutral about math. I waiver back and forth on whether I absolutely hate it, or whether it is somewhat manageable.  While it might come easy to some, I have to work and work on it to actually understand the concepts. The best way for me to learn is to do plenty of practice problems and I find that being in class and taking notes on paper is how I get the most out of math class. Its just about doing your very best and coming in with an attitude that is ready to learn.
