I’m now forty six
Living in a terrible fix
Seeking my A degree
In Computer T

Try learning Algebra
Stressing like I don’t know what
Didn’t get it back in school
Now it’s hard to do

I fail my math
Made a D in my class
Work hard to pass
But miss the task

I tried my best
Made a big mess
Failed my major test
Now I’m depressed

I appreciate moderate constructive criticism
What did you think of my title?
I wrote this a year ago when I fail Algebra. I had emergency glucoma surgery in the middle of the semester and seeing and remembering for the test added to the difficulty already exixted. I'm holding a high A a right now. Remembering is still a issue. Hope to do good on the midterm tomorrow.

Hello,

Good luck on your midterm! (Math was a very hard subject for me, so I sympathize!)

thanks Janice

Barbara Writes appreciate the comment. Algebra has made me physically sick at times becoming nausea trying to get through it.
