Hi there group! I hope all is well. I know I have not written to this
group in ages. Listen, I have come across a problem and am wanting to know
if any of you have had this problem.
After this semester, I am 3 classes away from graduating with my associates
degree in Journalism. I have passed all my "college" math requirements. My
math grades are not the best but they are ok, "C" range.
I don't want to tut my own horn but I have a 3.5 GPA and am in the honors
program. The problem is I have a high school deficiency in Geometry With
all the other math's I have taken Algebra I, Algebra II, and elementary
stats there has always been a formula or calculator I could plug the
problem into. I may have to do like 10 problems over and over but after a
while I could figure it out.
But in Geometry I have problems drawing the obtuse, acute angles because of
my CP. My fine motor problems cause this. Also, I have problems with my
eyes due to strabismus (ie. a turned eye) I suppress the weaker eye's image
in order to avoid seeing double (diplopia). (An eye doctor has told me
this.) I believe that this is causing me depth perception problems.
I have tried passing this course twice in high school needless, to say I
didn't pass it. What am I supposed to do? I mean I would be more then
willing to give it my best shot again but with the problems I have mentioned
I don't think my chances are good. I am not a person that likes to give up
or use my CP as an excuse. But how should I handle this?
Thank You, for any help you could give,
Jan
