« on: August 15, 2011, 11:05:08 AM »If it weren't for my total lack of math skills, I certainly would have become a meteorologist. Even though I'll never become a professional, the weather still remains a serious passion of mine.For me, it was chemistry. I took College Chemistry and within a few weeks, my brain fell out. I didn't understand 90% of what they were talking about. I had some pretty average teachers, though. They certainly knew the material, and they were nice enough, but they didn't seem to know how to explain things to chemistry virgins like myself. I'm sure I could have passed it if I had worked at it, but I dropped out. After that, I realized that I didn't want to be a storm chaser as much as I thought I did. Seemed kind of silly to spend all that time studying, just to live off government grants (unless you get a job w/a private company, of course).
Sounds like you had some pretty lousy teachers, Eric. I'm sure you could have done much better in math, had you received the proper motivation and help from your teachers. It really irks me when teachers "give up" on a student, just because teaching that student requires a little more work. If you ask me, those are the ones you need to focus on the most. And it's really not that much work. As corny as it sounds, sometimes all it takes is to listen to them. Anyway, a former co-worker of mine gave me some great advice awhile back. He basically said that "talent" is pretty much meaningless. If you have the drive, patience, and tools, you can become proficient is just about anything.
Didn't realize that was a link since it wasn't underlined. 
I think the design is really bland. And does the text really need to be that big!? 
The current one, though technically "outdated" looks much better in comparison.
Personally, I think the proposed design stinks. What are your thoughts?
