Skill List 7 & 8
I think I struggled a lot this year in math. I don't mean to sound harsh, but when it comes to math, I'm not the most waxy crayon in the box. I am slow at learning in the math topic. At first, I never really get whatever new thing we are learning, but with the help of my fantastically awesome teacher, Mrs. Eiteljorg. After I get the hang of that certain math method, I become pretty good at it, and then everything turns out fine. I guess with me, I just need a little extra help, and then I understand perfectly fine...Kinda weird... __**Key:**__
 * Scale 1-10**
 * Terrible = 1**
 * Not Good = 4**
 * Okay = 6**
 * Good = 8**
 * Great = 10**
