Learning the multiples by seve
My time in elementary school was not that different from anyone elses. However when school was done for the day, most of my classmates either went on to an after school class, or home where they waited for their parents to come home from work. But things were a little different for me, as I had my Grandparents living very close by my own home. So every day after school I would go there, until my parents got home later in the afternoon.I treasure a lot of good memories about my time in elementary school, and the time I spent after class at my grandparents' house, playing around or doing my homework. Like every other child my age, there were some subjects I did not like to study while others were nice and easy for me. I always procrastinated doing my math assignments. Multiplication tables were especially difficult for me, and I had a hard time doing them. For some untold reason I just could not see the logic in it, and how they worked. My math teacher had this system in class where everyone would have to learn the multiples by some number and then present it the next day in front of the class.

What did not make the situation better was that my math teacher had that kind of personality that intimidates a third grade student. Looking back, I am thankful that I had a grandmother that was there to help me win my small battles through my years in elementary. She taught me my homework in a different way when, I had problems understanding what my teacher have said in class. She helped me steer around a lot of defeats, that I know I probably would have suffered from in many of my classes over the years in school. But most important of all she was there, and she made sure that the world did not come to an end that next day. My grandmother noticed my distress as the tears had started to gather and drip down in the open book, and she asked what the problem was. I told her my own dramatized version how the world was going to come to an end by tomorrow because I would fail to learn my numbers. She sat down with me and comforted me by explaining that she was very sure that the world would not come to an end by tomorrow, and that she would help me learn those numbers.
