Math or English?
I have often had the conversation with people about whether or not they would rather be good at English or Math. I have come to discover that the answer can vary from person to person. Of course people who are good at Math always pick Math and people who are good at English always picks English. This week went over sentence structures in class which most people find tedious and worthless. I am one of those people who always say that I would rather be good at English instead of Math, which I am. The reason I would chose English is because you use it everyday in every interaction that you have with every person you meet. English is important in your verbal interaction that you have everyday including job interviews. If you do not have a good background in grammar and proper English you will never make it through the interview process. I also think it is important when it comes to any type of correspondence. Whether you are filling out an application, writing an informational email, filling out an questionnaire, or writing an evaluation English is important. When you turn a resume to a perspective employer if you have even one item misspelled or a missed punctuation they immediately throw it away. While you need Math as well it is not needed everyday in every situation.

I agree with this post Landyn. After reading this I can see how English would be more useful than math in everyday situations. Although they are both very important, being able to communicate correctly is a tremendously powerful tool.
