I think that this blog is really about what someone can accomplish. I think that this blog is also about how someone who has experienced failures in the past can achieve success. I think this blog relates to math, because many people have a hard time with math and have had failures with it. Those that have had failures or disappointments with math would be like the rose bushes not want to try with them for fear or thought of failure and disappointment. A lot of people don’t like math, and like the peaches they think they can’t do it or they just don’t like to. I think Ms. Mariner is trying to get us to see that even if we aren’t good at something or don’t like it, with a little push, the right tools, and some good advice as well as hard work, we can learn to love it, and succeed in doing things we never thought we could do.

 

I like math, but in the past I have had a hard time with math and certain subjects I just can’t seem to get. So this can leave me frustrated and disheartened. I find that math is challenging for me and due to past failures and very few successes I seem to like it less and less. I don’t think that I have found a way to learn math that has really worked for me. So I guess I am stuck trying and hopefully one of these days it will click.
