a reminder for those studying maths
you are NOT stupid, or lazy or anything like that if you are struggling
maths is notorious for being super difficult
when you are in your own bubble of seeing loads of people studying maths in your lectures or classes, it is so easy to put yourself down and convince yourself you are not good enough
the truth is, you are still wonderful and brilliant at maths to get as far as you have
everyone else outside your maths classes thinks you are super smart and super crazy for choosing to do maths
please don’t put yourself down, and remember that you are wonderful
maths takes passion, hard work and focus, and you can do it
