To me, now that I appreciate math, it is like a game. Figuring out different combinations to see why the answer is the answer is fun.
One of the most difficult areas in math, for me, was Data Analysis. As a child, I confused median and mean, did not know how to determine percentages for a pie chart/graph, and really just did not want to give math a chance.
As I have grown older, and had better teachers, all of the little things that I did not understand now make sense.
Math, to me, is power. Being able to double check a figure provided by a professional car salesman, or a billing cycle breakdown, or a forecast, etc. Having an understanding of the relation of math to my daily life empowering.
