At the beginning, Calculus was very difficult for me. I didn't understand limits, derivatives, or integrals. The words were new, and the ideas were confusing. In class, I felt shy. I didn’t want to ask questions because I thought, “Maybe my question is stupid.” But then, I got a very bad grade on a quiz. I was sad and a little angry. I said to myself, “I want to understand this!” So, I started asking questions. At first, I asked the teacher after class. Then, I started to ask questions during class. I asked things like “Why do we do this step?”,“What happens when x goes to infinity?”,“Can you explain it again?”.I asked so many questions that my teacher smiled and said, “You really like asking questions, don’t you?” Sometimes she looked tired, but she always helped me. My classmates laughed and said, “You ask more questions than the teacher!” But asking questions helped me a lot. I started to understand the ideas. I saw how the formulas worked. Slowly, I felt better and more confident. I wasn't afraid anymore.
One day, my teacher made a small mistake on the board. She forgot a minus sign. I raised my hand and said, “Excuse me, I think there is a mistake.” She looked at the board and said, “Oh, you’re right! Good job!”. That was a great moment for me. I felt proud. I saw that I was learning. I wasn't the confused student anymore. Now, I tell my friends “If you don’t understand, ask! Don’t be scared. Ask it to me!”.
Asking questions is not bad. It is smart. It helps you learn. It helped me, and now I really like Calculus.
I asked to ai for clearify my words for more understandings.I asked what would I use instead of "blabla" word and it says a better word like "ideas for calculus". It helped to me in second paragraph. it give an advice about to me how to Show my excitement like I felt proud section. Actually I changed some section like "I am depressed about this". Because eventually it is little lesson and I definitly believe that I will going to pass this lesson. This story partly mine but it is not in calculus it is about chemistry in high school. I changed to calculus because I am more interest in calculus.
