If you want to get anywhere in this world, you must produce results. The common question of “What have you done for me lately?” is always said in the area of athletics and sports but can also be posed in the workplace. When I enter the real world, I want to be able to answer this question with examples and proof of what I’ve done. Math has given me the communication skills of listening, clarity, open-mindedness, and the ability to give constructive feedback. Through group projects, these skills have been nurtured and have helped not only me, but my fellow peers explain themselves and the methods they use when solving problems. Without these qualities, it becomes very difficult for any group of people to perform at an efficient and successful level. I’ve developed the ability to not only answer the questions of ‘who, what, when, where, why, and how,’ but to answer them in such a way that nothing further needs to be asked. In the real world, problems will always arise and whether or not you can solve them rests in your hands. Math has taught me that being creative, cooperative, and working with others can yield the results that you need to solve these problems and succeed. It has shown me that there are multiple ways of conveying the same thought and you need to be flexible enough to tailor these ways towards your audience. A fundamental rule in any business is to first and foremost appease your audience and clientele because they will make or break you. The greatest minds this world has seen possessed these traits and have become revered due to their creative yet logical way of thinking. Maybe the most important quality that I have thanks to Math is confidence. Answers are either right or wrong and with that idea in mind, it adds even more pressure to someone to perform calculations with the utmost precision or explain yourself as clear as possible. Through the Math courses I have taken, there has always been an emphasis on being confident with the answers you put forward and I believe that I have translated this confidence beyond the classroom and into everything that I do today. When looking in hindsight, Math truly has taught me the problem-solving, analytical, reasoning, and leadership skills that will make me a successful person in my future.
