Why does high school have to be so boring? The worst subject for me was math. I was struggling in math, and was less than motivated. I ended up failing the state exam freshman year and went to summer school to re-learn the material. I studied a couple hours a day during the 6 or so weeks of summer school. What I learned here was discipline and how to plow through something you're not crazy about to reach a goal.

I never truly "got" the trigonometry and geometry until I started going graphics programming. High school is too much theory and not enough application of the theory and experimentation.
