B.O.B

Personally I enjoy math courses and don't have much trouble in them.   Though this year when I decided to also try AP Stats I was in for a rude awakening on work habits.   The first test I took was on something most people know in eighth grade, calculating mean, median, and quartiles, but I didn't take my time and review my answers.   This simple mistake caused me to get quite a bad grade.  Though I have learned from this experience and realized, it's not who gets done first, but the one who puts in the most effort and constantly checks their answers.   So the next test came up and I made sure my calculations were right and I tried my hardest.  This hard work definitely showed in my grade as it was much better.  Not only has this habit changing experience been great but I have also started to be more cautious with math equations in general.
