36 y/o and in grade 12 math.

Hi everyone! As I just wrote the subject line I couldn't help but think what a loser I must sound like. Well I am here like everyone else; to learn some tips and tricks maybe. In a way, I wanted to share my story to stress the importance of finishing your education. I chose to raise my children first and then go back for my grade 12 which now I'm wondering if that was such a wise choice as I sit here nearly ripping out my hair trying to plug away at this trigonometry, grrrr

Hi mamabear;

Welcome to the forum! I think you are right, It is not a wise choice to rip your hair out. It may not grow back! Posting the problem is much easier and less painful unless you are talking to me.
