Mathematics: The hardest subject or not?

Mathematics is already part of our lives. Wherever we go, we are experiencing a lot of Mathematical applications. Even small transaction, as long as it involves numbers, we are already into Math. Business, education or medical purposes are in line with this subject.
It is a part of the curriculum that needs to be taken. We are really bombarded with lots of disciplines and because of such, we can identify the subject that is difficult for us. This may include the difficulty in our grammar or vocabulary check, recalling the history, and of course!, analyzing problems or anything about Math.
As a student, I also encounter such difficulties. I make some tactics to overcome these. I copy my classmates' answers and ask them how to arrive such answers. Moreover, I ask the teacher on how to arrive a certain answer.
There was one time, I made a survey about the students' weakest subject. They were in the consensus of Mathematics. The result found out that they are having a hard time when it comes to Mathematics.
In Mathematics, different formulas are being utilized. We are exposed to different problem solving. From the basics up to the most complicated part, we are greatly twined with these. Everything in this subject is prerequisite.
Truly, Mathematics is existing and yet an interesting subject. It has been a part of our journey in searching for the truth. We tend to create an atmosphere between friendships, sorrows and happiness, and mistakes. Because of this subject, we definitely experience the ups and downs of our studies. There may be moments that we may be weak. We sometimes lose hope in doing such things. We may be afraid in taking the subject because we know already the consequences.
Even though we are in the midst of our lives as a student, we still become more knowledgeable. We learn to overcome different hardships. Solving real-life problems become easy for us now. It sharpens our minds, thus, making us to think faster. It can be easy through exposing ourselves to the different formulas and applications. Using the right way in solving is only an example on how we can make this subject easy.
Different subjects with different objectives are there to help us beat against all odds. Like other disciplines, Mathematics makes us competent and competitive as the trends of education change. Even if at first you can't see the importance of its nature, but later on, you will find yourself practicing and enjoying the different applications of Mathematics. It is just up to you to practice because this subject is in need of more practices.
So now, do you think it is the hardest subject? You decide!
