Two subjects I found myself encountering numerous obstacles in were Calculus and Physics. Many factors led to adversity being present during the time of the two courses. The further along the classes progressed the more I felt lost. It was if my ability to relate large scale problems back to fundamentals deteriorated over time. It took much hard work and patience, but eventually I saw success. Till this day I still struggle in areas but through my failure. I was able to grow through my failure I was able to grow and overcome adversity.
Personally, I am a firm believer that anything complex given time can be broken down into simple pieces easily comprehensible. Relating this universal belief to both subjects was a daunting task. The time need to break down complex problem solving skills over exceeded the time of instruction for that topic. Once I began to grasp one concept we would began learning a new concept.
