/sci/ - Science & Math

Any mathfags on here that use to be bad at math? I use to hate it as a kid. I was barely able to learn my times tables back in elementary school. In freshmen year of high school I failed algebra 1 and had to retake it. However, by junior year I realized all I needed was a lot of practice. I significantly improved and even started studying some math outside of school. I now love to do and discuss math. Anyone have a similar story/experiences?
