I just wanted to let you know that I have really found your video to be inspiring. I always did well in math, but I struggled a lot with writing. I finally became a passible writer around age 45. :)

This is probably the best video explaining this for me. I genuinely appreciate the way you explain stuff. You don't do it in a crazy sophisticated way or extremely professional way, you do it in a way that is relatable and understandable. I also noticed a few times you had a look on your face like 'okay how do I explain this or put words to the things in my head'.. I want to clarify that this is sincere as I can be... I appreciate that, it makes sense to me. You taught me dude. Thank you

I crashed in my A'levels and barely got good grades in Maths. I couldn't get accepted into any decent university and then I took GED, completed my English honors and MBA and now I'm going to pursue Mathematics Honors. Thank you so much for your motivation.

@@hatterbooks4372 Sure of course you can do it! You have my best wishes and full support as well. I took my A'levels back in 2013. I was a Cambridge A'level candidate. As I have said in the comment above, I didn't do well in my A'levels and kind of crashed out. I then took the GED test, excelled it and found the path to my University life. Taking the GED test gave me so much confidence and made me find my resolve once again. You have the potential. Whether you finish it with A'levels or GED, remember this: You have the ability to succeed. Best wishes for your future. Cheers!

Dude! I hope you go back to those high school teachers in BelAir and show them what you’ve done! They’d start crying with you, too. When I have students someday I want to share your story with them. So much of our limitations are imposed by others when we need our own way. It’s scary but you literally made a new path for yourself and others, I’m sure. Excelsior!

I watched this from beginning to end. Amazing story, thanks for sharing Dr. Davila. Did you ever go back and visit your teacher(s) from high school who funded you? I feel like a good teacher like that is often the make or break of a student's progress in education.

I am embarking on a PhD in Computer Science after working for a few years post undergrad, also coming from a GED. I was nervous about some of the courses, but have spent the last six months brushing up on mathematical foundations for work in data science and theoretical computer science (set theory, proof writing, discrete math, calc, college algebra - logarithms and sequences/series). I watched a video of Leonard Susskind talking about how he felt out of place at Cornell because he came from a working class background, so this is normal. I think the key is to take the anxiety/fear and use it to address the cause, rather than giving up. This is a beautiful story, thanks for sharing!

I remember seeing this video when it first came out. I was in college at the time. I found it relatable, as I was a high school dropout. I think I received five passing grades in my high school career. Given that I was a junior when I dropped out, I think that speaks volumes about my academic prowess as a high school student. However, though I had a rough start in college, I ended up doing quite well. I currently work in banking and am debating whether to get an MBA or a JD. Thank you for the video.

I did well in math in grade school but I lacked the parental structure. My parents didn't care despite my dad having an engineering degree. My parents didn't care so why should I? My mom always told us we weren't going to college and that they would never help us. They were true to their word. However, at about 22/23 I started attending community college. I did that for a few years while working full time. Eventually I transferred to a university and with the support of my now wife I was able to graduate with degree in engineering. I put in a lot of hard work and started from algebra II. It's a long journey but anyone can do it. Be patient and be easy on yourself.

started learning linear algebra and calculus with R and Rstudio, and after watching this and other videos Julia is starting to look like the way to go. This is exactly what I was looking for, and it looks much simpler and efficient in Julia. I will miss Rstudio though because im not convinced notebooks or VScode are better, but we'll see. Thanks!

This was a messy proof as mentioned in the video. However, it should not be difficult to show that the set of elements in the sequence is equal to X by using subset arguments. A lot relies on the Well-Ordering Property here.

I struggled with the math as well. Before I took the GED test I decided to study the math from beginning to end using the McGraw-Hill's GED Math prep book for 8 months. I studied everyday and took the tests, quizzes & did the practice questions. I passed all subjects with flying colors and scored a 92% in the math!!!!

I dropped out of higschool at 16. I had the exact same experience.. from the middle school teacher saying i wouldnt amount to anything to falling behind in all my maths and classes. Got work through my dad and worked for a while... and watched everyone i knew go to college. I learned what GED was and... when i studied and managed to get it.. i couldnt believe it was a possibility for me to go to college. I still cannot believe I am in college. I want to get a PhD in mathematics. This video is insanely inspirational. Thank you
