Nice to meet you all. This year I've realized that I have a very poor understanding of physics because anytime a problem is explained to me, it just goes out the other ear. My physics teacher is an old German man with a demon in his soul, but his class is one of my favorites and is probably the one I have laughed the most in.

I will be in this forum until about may 2024 when my school semester ends, and I get to be a senior next year. Personally I hope to achieve a career in cybersecurity because it is the topic I love learning about the most.

I am currently looking for more opportunities for myself such as the navy or national guard to help me on my path in cybersecurity. Other than that I like playing Overwatch 2, Valorant, and Clash Royale. I hope to enjoy my time with people attempting to try and save my helpless grade, and thank you for reading.

You're definitely not the only one who's had this experience. I remember thinking physics would mostly be about solving equations, but understanding the concepts turned out to be the harder part.

If you still enjoy the subject, I'd stick with it for a while before deciding it's not for you. Sometimes things start to make more sense after a few weeks of practice.
