Why Do We Need to Learn Math?

"Math", is probably the least word I like in Engligh for the only only one reason that it's boring and lifeless subject, isn't it ? My fear to math can trace back to elementary school years. When my classmates enjoyed playing Times Tables games or even made it a competition, I found myself having difficulty following up, and I felt suffocated over those numbers and figures. Unfortunately, time tables was just the beginning of all disasters, later it extended to complicated calculation queastions about buying stupid groceries. Ok,maybe my complaint comes out a little too early on those easy shopping caculating questions, but it was exactly when I realized this hideous subject will be following me as the biggest enemy until I am set free to University.
So I naively thought I am math-free the moment I step into university campus, and I could lead a happy life ever since. However, the fate is never easy to deal with, who can never predict that I will have to study statistics after six years' math-free life for my graduate school entrance exam. Why would a social worker need to caculate? Can't we just let the computers do all these, I thought that's why computers exist, no? I can never figure out the reason why would something like trigonometric function or linear function have anything to do with our real life. They neither inspire any potential in you nor bring along any benefit to my daily life, then why should I rick losing cells to study it ? Can anyone tell me ? I simply don't understand.... The worst part is, I can't complain and give it up like I used to do before, I have no time to play waywardly with this stubborn enemy, but to face it bravely for my own good, or I will be so dead in that cruel battle fighting for a spot in decent graduate schools. Math, I really hate you to guts, but I am not scared of you. Come on bring it on!! ( God please still bless me...)
