Geometry Was The Death Of Me

I am a person that laughs a lot. I laugh at almost everything but there are a few things that I do not laugh at because they are not really all that funny, but in general I am a person who laughs a whole lot. A time that my laughing helped me get through a situation was when I was in geometry sophomore year.

Geometry was the hardest class that I have ever taken and I did not understand that class at all. I also had Todd-Brown and he is like a genius or something and it never made any since. On the tests I would make up my own answers to the problems because I just had no clue what I was doing. So everyday I would just laugh about going to that class because I was so bad at it and that class was like a joke to me. I failed every single test that I took in that class. Whenever I would get the test back I would just laugh because I knew that I had failed it and had to make corrections on it so that I could pass. It was really hard for me to make corrections because I did not understand what I was doing. When he would write things on the board I would just look at it and be so confused because he would show so many different ways but none of them ever made any since. I remember him showing us his way and Mrs. Finn’s way, his way took up the whole length of the board. Mrs. Finn’s was only took up like a sentence worth of space on the board. I also remember him saying to us ” If you do not use my way than you are not going to pass”. That basically gave me a heart attack because his way so complicated. Just sitting in his class was so hard because when I would watch the videos and take the notes I was so confused and he never really helped me out when I asked.

When I would be sitting in class taking my test like everyone else I would kind of just look at it be like what the heck is this I have no idea what I am doing. I never passed one of the tests first try. I always had to make test corrections and usually after I fixed it I still had to go back and fix more. I would always try and do my homework for him but it was so confusing and hard I would just kind of make up my own thing and hoped that I would pass it. I always laughed when I would get them back again because I just did not know anything. Plus the teacher never really helped me out and when he did he just would get upset with me because I did not know very much. So my laughing really just helped me get through the class because it was such a joke. The class was just so hard for me to understand that I was surprised I passed the class first try. My friend and I both had such a hard time with the class so we would do everything that we could together so that we both would pass the class. Both my friend and I would always laugh about everything in that class because neither one of us understood anything.

That whole entire school year I never thought that I was going to pass that class in one year because of how hard the class was for me.. I surprisingly ended up passing the class with like a 78. I was so thankful that I was able to pass that class because if I had to take it again I do not know what I would have done. My laughing really helped me get through this class because I would not have passed if I did not think it was funny and tried to do the best that I could. My attitude for the class had never changed because of my laughing. I always just thought that the class was really hard and annoying. My laughing pretty much just helps me get through everything in life because I am just a person who laughs a lot. I’m just very glad that me laughing about this class helped me get through it.
