SkydiveNFlorida 0 #1 December 16, 2004 Remember the days where older folks would ask you what your favorite subject was? Well, aside from recess, what was it? Even if you hated school, answer what class interest(s/ed) you the most. This is brought on by a college application asking me what was my favorite subject and why I found it interesting. So, feel free to answer the whole question and expand on why you enjoy your subject. :D -A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheenster303 0 #6 December 16, 2004 I have 2 favorites. Spanish and Drama. I loved Spanish because I was just loved the language and I was pretty good at it in high school. Plus I had my best friends go through all the advanced classes with me. I was way into Drama in high school too. I was in the Thespian Society and I was in a bunch of plays and directed several different variety shows that we put on. It was a lot of fun and my best friends from my Spanish classes were also in Drama with me. My friends being in the same classes as me definitely made the class a lot more fun. I do absolutely love the subjects though. They were so much fun.I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheenster303 0 #8 December 16, 2004 Math was always my best Academic subject. I could always get it very easily with no problem. I could never be a teacher because I tried being a math tutor and I just couldn't understand why they couldn't get it.I'm so funny I crack my head open!

I found that I loved the Psych part so much I made it a double major. I still want to teach, but my long term goal has slipped a bit from permanent k-2 teacher to school psychologist. I'll teach while putting myself through a crap load of grad school stuff. (I didn't know until I started the double major that the only way to become a Psychologist is with a PhD.

Jib 0 #11 December 16, 2004 I liked math until I got to college and then enjoyed literature more. I was more interested in the human experience than getting the answer correct and DiffEQ was too early in the morning. I wanted to be a doctor until the biology department turned me off completely to taking any more science classes. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

airborne31582 0 #12 December 16, 2004 I chose history. I remember all the wierd looks I got when I was 8 years old and was studying books about ther Roman Empre, World War 2, and Adolf Hitler Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway.

I really wish I could help people in math, but I've tried and I just can't. I can't seem to figure out a way to explain it well enough for them to understand. Plus I'm not a person who has to know why something works the way it does. I just do it. It's kinda hard to teach someone to "just do it" without explaining why.I'm so funny I crack my head open!

Apparently math teachers are hard to find for middle and high schools. My sister was hired by a middle school desperate math teachers. She was a math/science major at college but didn't have a teaching cert. What could possibly go wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacefuljeffrey 0 #19 December 16, 2004 I answered "Physics." I took AP Physics in 11th grade, and struggled like mad with it. I even got depressed about it, and a close friend of mine actually worried that I was contemplating suicide! (I wasn't, but his concern was appreciated.) You didn't list "Science" in the general sense, but I always liked science class a lot. I liked Physics because it dealt with real stuff that really takes place, and wasn't about boring things like people and events (history). It also used Math, which was another subject I had to work a bit to be good in, but really took to; once I got it, I got it! In fact, in the three years of "Sequential Math" in New York regents high school classes, I scored 98%, 100% and 98% respectively on the New York State Regents Final Exams I took in Math! I knew that stuff cold! (at the time!) I really think that I should have been an engineer -- but now I'm 33 and it's not looking likely that I'll go back to school and do all the academic stuff to do so. I lean toward being very detail-oriented, exacting, and perfectionist: I think these are good engineer qualities. I had aspirations toward aerospace engineering at one time, but was a bit too lazy to take school seriously enough to go forward with it. That, and the degree to which I had to struggle to "get" physics deterred me. I also liked English, but I like literature and poetry now more than I ever did when I had a chance to actually study and discuss them in an academic setting. More's the pity, we seem to never appreciate things when it would make the most sense. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I also have a very analytical/methodical mind, so that helped me. Plus, I had a willingness to actually stay for extra help after school to pick up what I couldn't "get" during class.

brierebecca 0 #24 December 16, 2004 You didn't list my favorite subject! I was a Classics major, so my favorite subjects were Latin with Greek in a very close second.
