My Accomplishment
I accomplished the goal of finishing a difficult math assignment. First I got my
math assignment and when I got home I couldn’t figure out the math equation
answer. I asked my mom and dad but they were no help. I asked my sister she
said I don’t know? I had to do mental math for a while. It took one hour. Finally I
figured it out and wrote it down and explained how I got my answer.
I didn’t have to use any help but I had to do lots of math like subtraction,
addition and multiplication but I didn’t have to use division. I did not know
division. I had to use effort because the math was hard when I was doing it in my
head. I was motivated because it was my homework and I wanted to finish it so I
could do other stuff. I was persistent because I didn’t want to give up. If I did
give up I would have not have finished it and I would have to turn it in blank.
That’s how I reached my goal of finishing a difficult math equation.
