      No. In school, I was very much interested in physics, history and foreign languages. I wouldn’t say maths was my favourite subject before I reached age 16.

      Yes, my favourite subjects were always maths and music <3

      I loved reading but didn't really enjoy having to learn about all grammar…

      Gosh no!!!! Absolutely not…
      I always loved languages more… did French & Spanish in school and adored them but I suppose I was competent at Maths & I loved Science
      In University I missed more Maths classes than I attended as they always seemed to be on at 9am & I had moved away from home…
      In retrospect this was not very smart as I then found I struggled with Maths and began to actively dislike it….. the teacher was not very enthusiastic which didn’t help matters.
      I think its kinda funny that I am now a Maths & Stats teacher and my students seem to enjoy my classes and I have found my love of Maths again….

      Pretty much, yes.
      I also loved foreign languages (although not my own language, there was too much boring stuff!) and chemistry.

      No, my favourite subject was history. And probably I’m still even more interested into history than maths, as in my free time I’m always reading and watching documentaries about that.

      I always really liked maths at school but was more interested in sport.

      It was not!! I liked different subjects, depending on how hard the homework was!! I always found I needed maths, and needed to know how to get better at it to help with my other subjects involving numbers, so I stuck with it. Like most things, the more I tried to understand, the more I could see it being useful to me in lots of ways, so I grew to like it more because I could see it helped me beyond the classroom.
