From this day forward, Jade is going to live, eat, breath and sleep math for the next 5-6 months. She has always struggled in math, but I have found that she is also somewhat lazy- I'm putting that very nicely- about math, and those are two combinations that will not help her.
She has less than 6 months to graduate, which makes less than 6 months in which she needs to understand and pass math. We had a real tough time this morning coming to this realization.... with some major frustration and tears on both our parts- Jade and I that is.
Not sure why I'm writing about this, mostly just venting I guess. Jeromy is on board with helping with the whole "living, breathing eating math" thing, I also called her dad in California so he could impress upon her the severity and importance of the situation.
Ahhhh, OK, there.... I vented... it was alot worse this morning, but we are managing.
Help us in praying for Jade to find her self-motivational skills and self-discipline for math, to know when to ask for help, and not "fudge" information and pass if off like it's ok.
Oh yeah, I was done venting. She's a great kid, we all know that. But she's almost 18 and she needs to hone in on that self-discipline.
