I like the fifth grader analogy, so I will build on it. Just about ANY fifth grader would look in on a calculus class and think they were speaking a language from another planet. That said, a lot of fifth graders like math and, if given time, education, and patience will ultimately find themselves in that very same calc class. What a shame it would be if the promising fifth grade math lovers quit trying because they thought they couldn't handle the future! Those of us in the elementary school years of sobriety just need to take it one day at a time and know we have a long way to go before we can take the "calc" class...and that's ok!!!
