I'm 16 years old, and I'm currently in an Algebra 2 Honors class. Its a new quarter and right now I have an F. I got 2 F's on my last 2 math tests, and score a D+ for the 3rd quarter. The Math is just gotten so hard for me to understand all of a sudden. I've basically been tutored at school. I'm guessing this is the Lord's discipline, but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Please pray...... If I drop this class I wont graduate with honors. Perhaps that's the Lord's will I don't know. I want to be a Bible Professor/Pastor/Counselor when I'm older, maybe God is shifting me in a different direction to make that happen.

I am a retired physics and math teacher. At one point in my education I was in much the same situation as you with the calculus. I kept hammering away at it. At almost the last moment it all came together for me and I squeaked through. From that point on it was clear sailing. I pray that if you put in the effort the same happens for you.

Do you need this course to be a good Bible Professor/Pastor/Counselor?

If you do what's right, you'll graduate with honor in God's eyes.

I know but...I guess so.

I am right-brained. So math is pretty hard in the first place.

But you are pretty much right. I really feel like dropping the class, but my guidance counselor thinks i should keep it.

This past weekend the Spirit has really been open to me...and I know that God loves me and has a plan for my life.

Thank you

I will pray that you receive the guidance from the Lord that you are looking for.

In the meantime, there are a few websites that give tutoring type help that may be helpful to you. Here is one....
Algebra II | Math | Khan Academy
