I wake up in the morning, more tired then I was when I went to bed, with my math study guide notes stuck to my face; my only hope of revival is a hot cup of coffee. The long late nights are rough, but my hard work will be worth it for my future career. My interest in math has led me to pursue a career in math business, with all the challenges and opportunities my future career will bring. I enjoy math, but my interest in math business was not immediately sparked. I did not decide I wanted to…
