It was horrible when I was younger, particularly when I was in school since that was when I was required to.. you know.. pay attention. I could never focus on school work or class and always found myself in a dream world. That was my problem - I lived in my head, in a better, more desirable and interesting place.
All my work papers would have doodles all over them, practically covering the page. That's what I ended up becoming known for through my teachers.
I failed math class in almost every grade up until graduating. As I got older, my imagination, we'll call it, calmed down a bit and I was able to kinda listen to what the teacher was saying.. but it would never click. I still just don't understand math in the slightest except for the basics. I can't do fractions unless I am baking. ****.
Math was and is my worst subject, but it was like this for science and what not as well. I don't know if it was from my lack of concentration that my brain just doesn't click with things now, or if something else or a combination?
But anyway, I still have trouble as an adult with it but luckily it doesn't seem to be as bad. Perhaps it's because I concentrate to what I want to and don't seem to deal with the opposite.
