You must be one to control your time and not the time will control you.
It was the first day of the week, Monday, when we were surprised that we were having a room based group activity math quiz bee. There are three stages of the game, namely easy round in which you have 1 point for every correct answer, average round in which 2 points each correct answer, and the difficult round in every correct answer is worth 5 points.
Our group was at the top place on the easy round by which we have a 2 point deficit among the other groups because there are 2 question that only our group was able to answer. Specifically, me and ericah was only one to answer those questions.
During the average round, we struggled a little bit. As a result we were down by 4 points because we had incorrectly answered 2 precious questions. Me and magoo were the one who got the question wrongly answered. I was a bit depressed because of that. The question was too easy because you will only have apply zero product property on every term of the equation. I got it wrong because I panicked. I was suppose to find out the fastest way to solve it but due to time pressure I multiply the whole equation instead giving me a longer time to solve it so I ran out if time. But I did not let it became a hindrance in making a comeback to correctly answered the next question assigned to me to help my team be on the first place again.
On the difficult round, we got the highest point among the other groups. As a result we won the quiz bee with a two point lead against the second placed group and what a heart breaking lose for them with only a very important two point deficit. As mam nicole promised we will have an additional 5 points on the next quiz. Luckily, the next quiz is the unit test which is very important for because I have low on the past quizzes.
The next 2 days, we only studied about getting the roots of a polynomial equation. It was quite easy for me and I learned it immediately.
Then Thursday, the most recent quiz was given and my score was very low. I only got 10 out of 20. It was all due the very carelessness of myself. I was ashamed and embarrassed of myself because my score was a last section score and It made me mourn for the first time in my life because of a low score on an easy quiz. I think I starting to lose my passion and devotion in math because of the depression of having low scores in quizzes. But I realized that you can not go back on the things that already happened so all I can do now is to be very careful in solving problems in math and not only in math but also in making tough decisions in life because regret and sorrow will come for those who are not cautious in their choices.
