im in a diffcult quandry...i donno if this is the right forum but i feel more comfy around my sistahs anyway...LOL

Im in University, im moving along at a snails pace, i hate blaming people but its cuz back in my younger years i moved around so much and the teachers i had just didnt care that i was sooooo behind, like im saying MAJORLY BEHIND...its been a struggle these past 3 semesters to get back up, i excelle in the humanities but its my darn english and math that is keeping me behind and today is the first day of classes, i went to my algebra class...yeah dont laugh, im atrocious at math mainly cuz i donno what im doing...at all.

here is the issue, i took a very very basic, fundamentals math class last fall (i then took a semester off) but i took meticulous notes and still have them should i need to review, i ended up towards the end comprehending everything, thou at the beginning was dumbfounded...I hence got a low grade, i passed but just barely (again cuz the earlier exams) well, now im in basic algebra *again, dont laugh...blah* and the prof after the class calls me up and is like, r you sure u wanna be in here?? Deep down i wanna be cuz darnit i neeeeeeeeeeed to move on, i feel like im gitting no where and if i repeat the basic math class again, i have an even longer time to put in. this really bites!!!

Plus i feel, if i study enough i can "get it" i did with the other stuff, but now im worried, really worried, i have 1 day to decide what to do...i donno what to do...drop? take? sigh, maybe i should just drop out.

Math-my downfall. :cry:

Ive already taken alla my humanities, im roughly where i should be english wise, im just starting my sciences this semester thou i doubt that will be a major issue...its just this stupid math...grrrrrrrrrr

any advice?

assalamu aliakum

sis ...only u truly know if u r capapble of doing the course or not .. eventually u will have to take it anyway and u even said "if u study" that is the key.. dont let someone else tell u what u are or are not able to do.. inshallah.. if u need the class ... take it.. maybe see if u can get a different professor or something like that ... get a tutor .. study group ... anything but dont doubt yourself b/c someone else does... again i will say only u truly know if u r ready or not.. there is no shame in admitting u dont know something.. if u feel it woudl really help to retake that class then do it.. but if u think u can do the algebra one then i say go for it.. challenge yourself... it will make u a better person inshallah... this is just my opinion .. not that it is worth much..

Aww don't feel bad I was placed in pre-algebra when I was in college.<<<<<Barely made that to tell you the truth. But give me business math and I'm all over it. Anything dealing with running a business, I can fly thru it. Give me an algebra problem and I just might sit there for hours. Maybe find a turor (hubby?). But I wouldn't give up all together on your schooling, youv'e worked to hard to get were you are today don't just throw it away. Inshallah everything will work out. ^_^
