Blog # 1 - Math is a Passion

Mathematics has always been a true passion of mine. I've always been fascinated with the relationships with numbers, and enjoy solving math related logic or puzzle problems in my spare time. I have countless books on my bookshelf to show my love for math. I even fell in love with the high school curriculum; that is when I realized I wanted to teach math.

It is good to be passionate about something and even more so to pursue that passion as a career choice. Working full time in a job you enjoy and are confident in can be very rewarding. I understand the importance of math education and realize that the skill levels of young students may not be where they should be.

My passion is a driving force for me, but as a teacher, may appear as intimidation to my students or other peers. I have subjects that I dislike and have openly expressed that I've disliked them in the past. I understand that math is not a strong subject for everyone - and hopefully I can take my passion for math and teaching to try to improve the attitudes of my students in the future.
