Am going to keep it short. Am 26 currently been working for uber and lyft. I got admitted into Arizona State University last year. My entrance exams included mathematics. I have always struggled with mathematics all my life and the most i can do is basic number sets and operations and that’s it. Please don’t bother recommending any way to improve because trust me i have tried. My mom is a teacher and a counselor and my dad was a teacher as well. All my siblings are well educated in math and they have tried and i have deleted my YouTube, Facebook, gym membership etc. to focus and nothing has changed and even fell in love with it but every time i would fall asleep during math’s class. Please please please please, if anyone has a good career advice or any solution to bypass this and get into a career that is rewarding and deserves my handwork, i will appreciate it. I’ve had no zeal to move on with life anymore because of am very ambitious, good person and hardworking. I wanted to plead to my fellow humans for help and that’s all i have before i make my next decision!
One day I was stuck on the subway and played a Lumosity working memory game for over an hour. I had a dull, numb feeling in my head and it was hard to think by the end. My scores dropped sharply.
A couple of days later, everything was different. It was like I’d been working on a little school desk where I could never quite open the textbook and the notebook at the same time, and suddenly had a big office desk to lay my papers out on.
So basically working memory n-back games for long periods of time, to the point of exhaustion. Be aware that it seems to take longer recovery than muscles. I have to plan for at least two days of semi-downtime before I recover, because things are way harder for a couple days after reaching exhaustion.
