I am not good at math. I work in a garage.
I am in college. I am failing a basic introductory math class. I drive a lexus. My car is broken.
A Lexus came into the garage today in a really bad shape. I hope yours isn't as bad as his! I had it looked at by a mechanic. He said it will need a new catalytic converter. I will have to put the repair cost on a credit card. Yikes! Did he say how much it will cost? Yeah, It will cost about 2500 including parts and labor. I just finished paying off my semester school fees, so I don't have the cash on hand. That is not good news.  Maybe you should go to another mechanic to get a second opinion about price. If you want, bring it into my garage and my boss will give you an estimate. Okay, I will do that. Either way I'm gonna have to use credit, which I hate to do but my folks can't afford to help me out with the bill. It is just another stressful situation for you considering you are still studying hard in school.  Hopefully, they won't find anything else wrong with the car. He said it should be in good working order after that. He did a full inspection. Comes at a bad time for sure. I've had to start working with a math tutor to help me get my grades up. I know, you said that math course is really difficult for you.  I am not so good at math either!  Hopefully the tutor will help and that will be the last math class you will have to take. Sometimes I envy those of you who went into a trade rather than college. You didn't have to waste time and money on courses that you'll never use. Well, trade schools cost money too and sometimes it does limit your options.  At least in college, you get a wide variety of options.  I think it will be worth it for you in the long run. I hope you are right. I guess I just have to power through the discouragement and see the light at the end of the tunnel.
