After taking the CPT evaluation, it was apparent that I have forgotten just about everything I had learned in high school algebra. Thus, rememdial algebra. I'm kind of excited about it though. I love math, have a pretty good head for figures, and enjoy solving logic problems in puzzle books. I equate these to learning algebra. Due to circumstances beyond my control during my high school years, my attendance left a lot to be desired. I found myself always playing catch-up with my algebra class; not a good way to excel in that course. I did pass it, but not well enough to satisfy my own notion of how well I could have and would have done if life was normal. Now I have the chance to prove it to myself and feel up for the challenge.

Attending my first class, tonight, hasn't waned my enthusiasm. I am the oldest student in the room. When I first signed up to earn a degree (in Accounting), I wondered if the age thing would make me uncomfortable. Quite the contrary, though. Age has made little things like that insignificant. I am doing something I have waited a lifetime to do and a few wrinkles will not be allowed to mar the thrill of this experience!
