In the November 2013 Issue of Teen Ink, Ali Schindler shocked me in her article “Words and Numbers.” I completely understand where Ali is coming from. Numbers are very frustrating and hard to deal with. I have always been good with math but it gets very annoying when you don’t remember how to solve something, or don’t know where to start with the it. Even when the class has gone over it and over it a million times. Any type of math is hair pulling nonsense and sometimes you have to go to other objects to get lost in, things that will make you forget about what is frustrating you for a little bit. Ali gets lost in words, but I can’t agree with her when she says words make it better. I am not a reader at all. Reading is just not my cup of tea. I’ve never got lost in a book or found one that interests me at all. Books and words don’t make it better for me, my friends, family and music does.
