CPT testing.....

CPT testing! What do you know I am smarter than I thought! Entering this little community college I was told I had to get a 83% on my Reading, English & Math. After much reviewing, I took the nerve racking test and received a 79 in English, 74 in reading & at 65 & 23 in my math, Yikes. So with even more study I brought that English score to a 101% and that reading score to 88%, not to bad I would say. Now the Math is my issue at hand. I need for that 65 to be an 83 and I need that 23 to be a 45. Apparently the Math had and extra score I was not a wear of that would be a required 43! So I headed to good old B & N to buy the pre-algebra for dummies, LOL. I found a new version called Pre-algebra DeMYSTiFieD & algebra DeMYSTiFied. So in a matter of five day I forced myself to focus and I got through the 1^st book. Yeah!!! Yesterday I started the 2^nd book. I just have to think that I really, really want this, I’m a hungry woman as some would say. I get more nervous the more I seem to catch on to this Math, Why? Because I’m afriad I might be missing something. Nothing comes easy in life so I’m always looking for the trick question or problem rather. I do have to say I really thought I would be one of the last people to ever go to college. I made terrible grades in high and had no desire to learn or had the encouragement. I was basically thrown in the basement with all of the other kids that struggled as I did myself. I can’t spell well and reading a load is a struggle for me. But, I want this so bad now I am going to reach out and grab it. I have been told many of times that you can work hard and YOU CAN get what you go after in life. Well, I am a lab rat at this moment and less just say If I do accomplished this degree, which I plan to move heaven and earth to do so. Then YOU CAN too!!!!! And I don’t want to hear any excuses what so ever from anyone. My next entry will follow soon! Ciao…..
