During the first semester of my sophomore year in college, I took a beginning physics course. I could barely keep up with all the readings, the lab assignments, and the problems that we were required to solve. Because I devoted so much time to studying physics, I neglected my other classes.

After taking the first physics examination, I was shocked to find I'd failed it. I got a tutor, but despite all my efforts barely passed the second exam. The final grade for the course was to be made up of grades from the labs and three examinations, so I became quite concerned that I might fail the course. I was frustrated and afraid I just could never understand physics.
