Junior, a boy of 7, sat on his study desk. Books pile on the table not neatly arranged. He seemed disorganized going through the math problem after failing to solve it for the fifth time. His face grew red as he pushed the book aside. He groaned under his breath and grumbled silently.
"I hate math"
A part of him was convinced he could learn it, but he hates it whenever he fails multiple times trying to solve one problem. The daily study wasn't helping, but that of today was frustrating and I couldn't help but to pour out his frustrations.
Junior's mum watched her son from the window and wondered what had gotten him upset, but his consistent stare at the book he had thrown gave her an idea of what it was. She knew how hard he studied and the only way she could support him was to hire a tutor who would make his learning easy. She had noticed how frustrated he gets whenever he steps into his mini-library to study, she had jokingly nicknamed there a frustration station.
The next morning she hired Mr Ben, a mathematics teacher to help guide Junior in the learning process. Junior who had given up on mathematics couldn't help but try again, hoping he'd learn this time. Mr Ben started with the basics, helping Junior learn in patience. His story on how he started gave Junior hope that he could learn how to solve it.
Junior dedicated his time, learning in his private time also. In a few weeks he was able to understand how to solve complex problems and ways to derive and apply formulas. It was the joy of Mr. Ben and Junior's mum as they watched Junior tackle complex mathematics problems easily.
