Well, the subject that I had a love-hate relationship with was always math, and it has a huge black spot on my life that really impacted me. I studied the subject since the first grade at school and enjoyed it quite a bit, but in the middle of my learning, I started to hate it because I had an awful teacher who wasn't explaining anything properly. It turned out that he was some kind of pedophile, and then my school director fired him. This year created a huge gap for me, and I could not understand anything after that. Then one teacher came to my school. She is a beautiful woman with knowledge and has the ability to explain everything accurately and be really interesting.
