To this day I can still remember sitting in my math class as a youth, reluctant about doing my math assignments and hearing my teacher say "You need to learn math because math is a skill that you are going to use everyday." As an adult I can now appreciate the significance of learning math because math gives you the skills that you need to be able to identify and solve your personal problems. If you are faced with personal problems and you are not able to solve them, that can be troubling and stressful. If you are troubled and stressed, you are not going to have a peaceful day.

1+1 = 100-98
