Thankful for my Math "Tutor" :)

I am behind in math and it can get very frustrating for me just thinking about it sometimes -and it can get even more frustrating when I'm having trouble with my math. My sister, Elizabeth, and I have been working on math together for a little while now and although we're both a little behind, I am more behind than she is because I am older than her, so sometimes I've been kind of prideful towards her when she's tried to help me with a problem I'm just not getting. (Am I  making any sense?) There's been quite a few times when we've both wanted to just work separately because we can get annoyed at each other, but since we're both at the same level of math, my mom would like us to keep working together. -Not only because we're at the same level so we might as well, but also because my mom thinks it is a good learning experience for Elizabeth and I to learn to work together, which is something (I'm just being honest here) we are not all that good at! -but hopefully we've improved a bit and will continue to improve! After church tonight, Elizabeth and I had to do some math because we had put it off during the day (which is the real reason we're behind in math, we kept on procrastinating to do our work regularly enough.) So yes, we're having to work on it over the summer and hopefully catch up a lot! I was having trouble though with some geometry problems tonight -really a lot of geometry problems. But Elizabeth, who understood the concept of the geometry problems better than I did (she seems to have a knack for this whole geometry stuff!) helped "tutor" me with almost every problem I had trouble on. She was a really good tutor! -and very patient towards me. :) And by the time I finished tonight and had taken a quiz, I understood the stuff I was having trouble with a lot better than I probably would've if I was just doing the math on my own. I really didn't even feel that embarrassed that I was having trouble on those geometry problems and needed my younger sister's help. I really felt thankful that she was there, being very understanding towards me and helping me along. I felt a little humbled too, but in a good way! I just hope that next time I feel pride start to fill up inside of me when I think I know better than somebody or I think I'm "too good" for their help, that I remember this and that I listen carefully and humbly to what they have to say or what they're trying to help me with. Because really, (in my opinion) that is the better choice. So thank you Elizabeth for tutoring me tonight! It really was a blessing! :)

Love your,
