Don't worry about it! Really! It's intimidating at first, I won't lie but once you get it down (which just takes time and practice) you'll probably love it and automatically do it without even blinking an eye. Even though I'm going into my sophomore year (10th grade), I totally get looking at the next year (Spanish, Algebra 2, reading Julius Caesar 😨) and thinking, "Gosh, I can't do it!" but you can! You really can! I think everyone here can relate to a moment when we thought that something was too hard but can look back and realize that it wasn't anything to worry about. Just remember: nothing is impossible; the word itself says "I'm possible" (Audrey Hepburn...such an icon!). Also, remember to have fun! Math has become so much more fun for me when I stopped worrying about it and overthinking it. Just listen to your teacher, study with friends, practice in your spare time, and take good notes during class. This might sound silly but sometimes the best way to know if you're getting something down is pretending to teach it. When I was in 4th grade, I would take all my stuffed animals and do a little pretend class, "teaching" them but also testing myself. It helped me have fun while getting good practice in. I really hope this helps and I just know you're going to do great!

Nice! I hope you have lots of fun! Don't miss out on Texas bbq!!

Omigosh, really? That's my city!

Yeah, I think we're planning on going there. There will definitely be a lot of sightseeing and epic eats!! I'm counting down the days!

Oooh, I used to live there! Dallas! :D

Guess he finally realized Tennessee wasn’t the Serengeti! 😂

Wow!! I can't imagen how surpising it must have been to be driving and see a zebra running along the road.

Wow! That's crazy, and cool!!

Wow! That's so cool!! I was thinking the exact same thing, @gnarls!

Really?? That's my home state! Which city?
