In the year before high school, I was well in math. Not in a famous school, & studying less ,even didn’t answer exercises in my notebook, unlike others, but remember like one time, we were tested (maybe hard) could open notebook/etc: I could get the best score, in spite of my lame notebook.
In 1st year of High school,I entered a more famous in city school. And I showed I am one of best students, even in math, I was top 3. I did very well in that year in school.
In second year, I became famous in class and maybe school for outstanding math skills. I remember I did study some math, and maybe, unlike others focusing on questions, I focused on formula and rely on my own thinking instead of similar questions. For instance, one time, I once read more examples and I saw a decline. So, then, I got back to my own way of study and I gained back. Not surely this, but some times, I was not best (like once I did best but doubt and deleted the true answer which would gain me %100 if wouldn’t delete it), but totally, I was way better than others (for example, once I gained 90% while nobody else (or some times only one) could get above 50%. All but me failed it means… In that year, I started learning C programming, too.
In third year, I declined, because I totally left studying. I did no study really. Many were attending private class and I was poor was a reason I be hopeless, too, and the teacher hoped people go to his private classes for benefit of $ and so didn’t teach well, too…
In fourth year, nobody was perfect, I was even worse due to really no study at all.
I learned C# and did well in programming at 19. (programmed an NMS which usually more pro do)… I am good in programming more than these.
I am 30 now, but want to study mathematics, as it will help me in cs, too, and I like it, too. Are others smarter in it???
Thanks!
