Mathematics Major!

Welcome fellow blog spotters and aplangstas! Danny is back, and here for my second blog post! :D

MATH!^
So my first blog talked about one of my possible majors for college, criminal justice, and this next one is going to be on the possible major of.............mathematics! My favorite subject ever since I can even remember(presumably since kindergarten) has been math.  I've always been fascinated and intrigued by every aspect of it! I think a main reason for this, is that my mom put me through an after school math and reading program called Kumon! I started Kumon when I was about 7 years old, and continued with it till I was 11! It really really really helped me with my math skills, and by the time I was in the fourth grade, and was learning sixth-grade level material! At first, I was kind of reluctant and resistant to do any of the problems that were assigned to me, and if I can recall, I hated my instructor(not actually hated, but didn't appreciate) but after spending a couple of years in the program, I saw that doing these problems were actually starting to get pretty fun!

NOW, as a junior in high school, math is still my favorite subject, and I can still get a kick out of it! (not as much as before, but you understand). Throughout high school, I've gotten an A or even an A+ in each of my math classes from previous years(geometry and Algebra 2) and am now currently enrolled in two math classes at Westmont: Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus, and AP Statistics! Both of these classes are pretty challenging, especially the AP, but I'm still able to be fascinated by every aspect of each of them! And luckily, I've been very fortunate in getting great teachers this year, once again! SHOUT OUT MS. SPIRIDON AND MR. ANDERSON :) I've been learning many new, various concepts in each class, and everyday, I cant wait to go to one of my math classes! It just cannot get any better than this!
Sooo, since math has been a very inspirational and motivational subject to me, I'm thinking that it might be a potential major. I know that there are hundreds, maybe quicksand of possible majors related to mathematics in some degree, and Ive started to look in to them! They all seem to be like something I would enjoy, especially majors in statistics! However, I'm not exactly sure which area I would be totally willing to learn/study on, but I am definitely going to be doing my research on various aspects of mathematical majors! It just may be the perfect major for me:) Hopefully, all of the colleges i apply to will have superfluous mathematical majors, and who knows? One day, maybe just one day, I, Danny Stapleton, will have a masters degree in some form of mathematics!
