| Answer: Dear Varsha,
First of all I must congratulate you for taking this step and writing out
what is ailing you.
I suggest that you take the following steps immediately: Take an IQ test.
That will instill confidence in you that you are no moron. You have won 40%
of the battle. Then take a mathematical aptitude test. If you do well there
too, the following will help you: Meet a sincere maths teacher, may be in
school, who will tell you your weakness. Even if it means taking tuitions
for 15 days to a month to brush up that portion of the Maths, it will be
worth investing in. June is ending and you should be in shape by Mid July to
late July.
Make a time table for your self for months till February 2003 and become a
Valmiki. Do Tapasya, which means study, study and study. Practice writing ,
even English needs practice. You have to cover not only this year's higher
stuff, but also to make up for the lost ground.
If you do not have mathematical aptitude, talk to your school people and see
if you can change a stream now. Talk with your parents and I am sure they
will listen.
Your counsel. |
