6This is a very common saying, “It looks like when I take 1 step forward I take 2 steps

backwards”. This really means that I have taken 1 step backwards total. !

I started out this morning with $50.00 and I went to the gas station and spent $50.00 in gas, then I sold $75.00 in hair care products and by the end of the day I only netted $25.00.

!This morning the water temp was 68* and by that afternoon it increased to 78*, and the next

morning it went down 60*. That means there was an increase of 10* and then dropped 18*. !!!

10Overcoming Math Anxiety

1.! Need to have a positive attitude when ! given help.!!2.! If you don’t understand something !! don’t be afraid to speak up and ask ! questions even if the teacher has to ! make a clear illustration or ! ! !! demonstration for you to get an !!! understanding.! !3.! Know it okay to ask for a tutor or !! work with peers that have passed !! that math class. !!4.! And always remember sometime it !! might take a different approach for !! you to get a better understanding.

30What I enjoy the most

about FSU is, The spirit of excellence in that the staff emanates. The quality of teachers

they have on staff. And most of all is FSU’s

willingness to work with me in embracing my dream to become an Internet Marketer

and I can’t forget FSU Support team who all

know me by name.

31Here are 3 of my course classes. One I have taken is Fundamentals of Physical Science and it uses mathematical formulas to understand force and motion, energy and mechanics and much more. Now for Introduction to Statistics I only can assume because I have not taken it but in the overview of this class it says students will explore measures, data, graphs and calculate and those are mathematical terms. Also Web Analytics and Reporting students will report productivity, data, financial investments and that will take some math knowledge to calculate too.
