I think there are some skills that are hard to learn, but if you have the dedication to learn this skill, you can learn it. For me, math skills and math calculations are hard to learn because I don't like math, honestly. But math requires a clear mind to make calculations, and you need a strong foundation from high school and before. I wanted to learn it because I'm studying in the engineering field, and I need to make math calculations. I need this skill because if you learn math skills, you have a great opportunity to develop critical thinking. What made it difficult? I think it's difficult for me because I don't have a strong foundation. It's because I have disliked math all my life. As for how I eventually learned it, I can say the environment pushed me to learn it because I am aware that I will need this skill in the future to make calculations for my master's degree. It will involve hard calculations, for example, integration and other topics that are difficult to learn. I started to practice, and I made progress.
