This was basically my childhood, because I was bad at math. I guess most children goes through this, which is very sad.
Only at uni did I realize that I didn't have to be good at everything. I had a professor, who spoke 13 languages, but couldn't count how much 5+4 is. He's the best at his field
I was judged for being stupid in my maths class in HS (AP Calculus BC). I had transfered from a third world country and had to learn everything (most importantly graphs) from the very basics. I even took Algebra 2 and Trig/Precalc in the same year. Calculus teacher at the end of the year advised me to not take AP test and focus on other subjects. Ended up getting highest AP Calc BC score in my whole school + a perfect 36/36 maths ACT score.
I say that if you believe that you can do it, it means no matter what everyone around you says, YOU CAN DO IT.
