I've always had problems with understanding maths and I was used to getting low grades. I was too shy to ask the teacher or even my close friends because I didn't want to be made fun of or laughted at.
One day, I finally had the courage to ask my friends, who were some of the best students at maths, to help me with a homework and to explain me the exercises. They were nice and they helped me. I did the same a few days before a test and I couldn't believe that I could finally understand maths! There was no surprise that I got a good grade in the test. I get by with a little help from my friends.
