rewrote some notes and planning to take a nap in a while ☁

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

I took calculus my senior year of high school, and I really liked the way our teacher framed this on the first day of class.

He asked somebody to raise their hand and ask him when we would use calculus in our everyday life. So one student rose their hand and asked, “When are we going to use this in our everyday life?”

“NEVER!!” the teacher exclaimed. “You will never use calculus in your normal, everyday life. In fact, very few of you will use it in your professional careers either.” Then he paused. “So would you like to know why should care?”

Several us nodded.

He picked out one of the varsity football players in the class. “You practice football a lot during the week, right Tim?” asked the teacher.

“Yeah,” replied Tim. “Almost every day.”

“Do you and your teammates ever lift weights during practice?”

“Yeah. Tuesdays and Thursdays we spend a lot of practice in the weight room.”

“But why?” asked the teacher. “Is there ever going to be a play your coach tells you use during a game that requires you to bench press the other team?”

“No, of course not.”

“Then why lift weights?”

“Because it makes us stronger,” said Tim.

“Bingo!!” said the teacher. “It’s the same thing with calculus. You’re not here because you’re going to use calculus in your everyday life. You’re here because calculus is weightlifting for your brain.”

And I’ve never forgotten that.

This mindset is so important!! This also reminded me to do my pre-cal homeowork that's due tomorrow haha

So I made an infographic a while back for our reading and writing class, based on our personal way of reading! I thought I should just share this with all of you—hope it helps :))

I’m going to be making another one based on my personal writing process weee

☁ Studyblr Introduction ☁

Helloo!! I'm Kyla and I've been on the studyblr tag for a short while. I've actually already reblogged and posted a few things—as well as making an introduction, but I kind of wanted to start again because I wasn't satisfied with previous posts and here I am now HAHA

I just want to say how inspired I am by this community, showing me the amount of dedication, perseverance, wisdom, and creativity from everyone in which I could hopefully learn from! The respect and support within this community motivates me to strive consistently through my academics and values!! Can't wait to start out as a studyblr woo ✨

I'm in my junior year of high school and happily taking STEM wahhh

I'm from the Philippines hehe petmalu!!

I'm an INTJ and Hufflepuff!

Breaking procrastination habits

To manage my time better

To hopefully help other studyblrs as well using techniques I've learned

Fulfilling my dream in being a vet

Literally just befriending all of you :<
