My whole 12th year in school I had a math teacher that I would see once per 2 weeks. He would give me homework - a list of 30 math problems to solve. He would always leave me red notes everywhere. It was never about the wrong solution as I had no issues with that. He was university professor so he knew how to structure his lectures. He did the same with me - he would train me how to structure my solutions so that they are easier to understand. He taught me to organize and structure my thoughts. My literature and writing teacher in 7th grade helped me too. They taught me on how to structure text to prove a point. It takes time but it could be learnt. It just needs practice and the correct teacher and I know how to teach him. He told me that no teacher managed to teach him that. I kind of see this as a challenge . Quote:
We do not have rooms like that so we had to study in the dorms. However once I moved I was living in the same building as another guy from my group and we got along great for study so we usually were in his room studying and we were alone. With him it was easy to study because we would not bother each other. Plus we understood each other with just one word. We would do reseach on our own and then we would exchange information. We would solve our homework together. We would work on projects together. It was really easy with him. __________________

My first year of college I made the mistake of living with someone random instead of living with several of my friends who were attending the same college. The girl I lived with was a psycho who was obsessed with me and I was honestly scared for my safety. Found out later she pulled a knife on someone in that dorm. I moved out three weeks after living with that psycho. I switched dorms (even switched to a different building with dorms) and had a dorm all by myself. However, one of my high school friends didn't really like who she was living with either so she moved out on her and moved in with me around 6 months into the first year. Then I lived with her for another year before I realized I was at the wrong college all along and then transferred to another college close to home. |

Yes, all along I should have just lived with that high school friend. Well, I should have never gone to that college in the first place though but the situation was fine once I lived with my friend until I decided to transfer to the other college I was always meant to attend instead. |

So my cousin's daughter starts talking more so my mother would call me and then she would start talking to me. However the moment she hears my voice she starts saying "Momma" . I guess she still confuses me with her mother for some reason. We will see how she will feel when I come home and see her. __________________

Remember the guy that I mentioned about the studying sessions? This is how our sessions started. We had homework in physics every week and next week the teacher would ask someone of us to solve the problems on the board. I could not understand what the teacher was talking about. He had terrible German . I knew that this guy knows physics so I asked him for help. He was used to people copying his homework, but I did not want that. I wanted him to explain to me. He is not good in explaining stuff. He skips a lots of steps and most people are like lost. However I would grasp it without issues. He was impressed with me and he told me so. And this is how our studying budding experience started. I was like translator for him. He was quite smart, but he had no idea how to explain to people what he knew and I was able to understand him and explain it to others. We were great team. Quote:

I will give her a Duplo Lego with set of animals and we will play a bit with that. I also have some Lego minifgures that I will give her to play - a grandmother and two children. I think that we could start with her to play a scene. My mother already told her that they are building grandmother's garden. I would just add the people and set up the scene for her. __________________

Luckily I had classmates in college that helped me with my studies. Then I moved to different dorm and that helped a lot as well. I got used to German and got better with studying in foreign language. However it was slow process for me. I needed the whole first year to get used to this. Quote:

Now if you ask me if everyone is Software Developer now, no. But at least 70 % of the people are in the IT area in some way. We have the same in high school. We apply for schools and specific majors. Mine was computers, math and English which meant that after the 5 years I would have get regular education in all other areas, but advanced in math, computers and English. The most advanced was in math. We never cared about the regular material that people studied. We had like 8/10 math classes a week and we would solve more difficult stuff. In the last year we basically solved the official university exams. Technically I had also advanced classes in chemistry because I was attending schools competitions in chemistry. That's how you say it, but I was in a very elite school so most of the stuff I studied (and adding the support of my parents) were actually advanced level compared to regular students in the country. It's no wonder I can read molecular biology books in English without issues. I have read about some of that stuff in school in the books I aksed my parents to buy for me. Quote:
