Math Reflection

“Like a pattern helping us to understand the world,
Like a sequence teaches us how to set things chronologically,

And like a Statistics, enabling us to find the function of important of data in our
lives.”
In our day-to-day activities and events in our lives, only few appreciate the vital role
of mathematics. And I am one them. I used to be a Student Leader and I used to be a
Student Journalist, but I never tempt to love Mathematics nor dreams to be a Math
Enthusiast.
I HATE MATH and I admit it. I hate dealing with numbers and their operations. I
hate calculation, computation, solving of problems etc. because it is so exact,
systematic, and a logical subject which hurts my brain.
Back in the day, in my Elementary years, I together with my advisory teacher often
participate Mathematics Quiz Bee and MTAP Challenge where, I always got into places
and I don’t know why, but believe it or not, I was the Best in Math in our section in those
time. How ironic right?
As I stepped into my High School years, my plans and goals in life twisted. I studied
well but the Mathematics subject was never being my priority. Yet, still my enthusiasm
to learn something was never fades.
Times go by quickly, and now I am already a College Student. During on my
enrollment, I heard that “Mathematics in the Modern World” will be one of my minor
subjects in the 1st Semester. Well, I wasn’t shocked since I knew that we can’t escape
Mathematics. In the first day of my class in Mathematics in the Modern World, our
instructor introduced himself. So far, I build good impression to him since he still young,
undeniably handsome and very good grooming. Actually some of my classmates
specially the girls suddenly pay attention and listen attentively not because of the
subject but because of our flabbergasting Instructor. His name is Sir Richard Verdeflor.
Well, surprisingly, I wasn’t find the subject boring. Maybe I am only pressured to our
instructor if I can’t reach his standard since my knowledge and skills in Mathematics is
really not good anymore or maybe, it because he has really a very distinctive teaching
style.
The way our instructor teaches us was indeed astounding. He always ensures that
his students are with him and understand his lessons. Actually he is the first instructor
I’ve encountered that with a special ability. He is good at reverse psychology, more than
that, he can also read what is in your mind and figured out if his students really
understand his lessons or not. In fact, he revised the cliché “Silence means Yes” to
“Silence means No” since whenever he asked us “Class do you understand?”
sometimes no one will response.
Hence, we, the whole BSEd-Social Studies class are very thankful having an
Instructor like him since he understands that not all of his students can easily catch up
the topic and can do math. He is so very versatile when it comes in dealing in his every
student. He is a kind of a teacher who doesn’t need brilliant, smart, or intelligent
students, rather he wants to create them through his teaching strategy. He is so very
open to his student and he is like our father whenever he teaches. He imparts
knowledge more than what is in the context of the curriculum. Upon teaching
Mathematics, he always relates it to real life application and often coupled it in sharing
his life experiences, his struggles and on how he succeeds in life. His life story inspired
us to persevere and strive harder in life since living in this world is not just a piece of
cake. According to him people who underwent difficulties and struggles in the beginning
of life will reaps glory in the right time. What important is, to be more strategic, and learn
to solve and deal life-problems systematically.
Indeed, good Student-Teacher Relation is very essential in transforming the
academe into excellence. It is the pedestal tool to reach the optimum development of
every student. Through our good relationship to our teacher, I learned bunch of life-
lessons and I learned more than Mathematics. I learned that the subject Mathematics
was a subject that we shouldn’t hate. Because Mathematics is around us. Sometimes
we didn’t notice that mathematics contributed to our Intellectual, Social, and Moral
Development.
Therefore, this semester will end with lessons to bring. My bad impression to the
Mathematics subject already fades. Since Math imparts in our different phase of life. It’s
like a pattern helping us to understand the world, like a sequence teaches us how to set
things chronologically, and like a Statistics, enabling us to find the function of important
data in our lives.
