This year I have been able to learn a lot in my Math 1030 class. This was my first

college class that I have ever taken, so I was determined to get good grades since it affected my

college gpa. One of my absolute favorite subjects to learn about this year was Finance. After

learning more about it, I was able to better understand why so many people go into debt and

struggle with finance. If you don’t have the proper knowledge on finance and how important it

is to understand, you will most likely go into debt. In my personal opinion, finance is the most

important subject that I feel I have learned in math up to this point. It is something that no

matter what I decide to go into career wise, I will use in my life. Everybody has to deal with

money on a daily basis and should know how to handle it smartly and properly. Problem solving

is another important aspect that I will forever use. I will always need to be able to solve or figure

out certain situations and problem solving has taught be how to do these things. Math can be

used in our every day lives, no matter what our occupation is. Problem solving has allowed me

to learn many different everyday situations and how to solve them efficiently so I can get the

best possible outcome. Between finance and problem solving this semester, I feel better

prepared for figuring things out on my own once I graduate high school and move onto college.

I am grateful that I have been taught from a young age the importance of being careful with my

money, and now that I understand more about finance, I can be even more with my money and

how I use it. I now know how to meet my retirement goal and what to do when I am buying a

house.
