So, those of you who know me on here know that I am in school to become a math teacher. I'm in my junior year, and things were going great. I got a job that gave me a jump start on my career, and things were fabulous. This job was as a math tutor, which is definitely in my field. After a few months of working there, I got fired. I GOT FIRED. I was told that I should reconsider my career choice, and that I'm apparently not that great in math. He said that I wasn't very helpful with the older kids (high schoolers), and it's best I know now than later.
This killed me. What were As in all of my math classes soon turned into Ds and Fs. I'm unmotivated, and I feel like an absolute idiot. It's like, his words subconciously made me believe that I really do suck in math, and that I really do have no idea what I'm doing. I'm letting it effect me THAT much. It's like, he ruined my dreams. I've tried not thinking like that, but nothing has worked. I just want to drop out of school because I feel so worthless. What's a girl to do? Change my major back to primary education? I don't know. I'm utterly lost. -------------------- |
