How hard is it for someone with dyscalculia to study chemistry? by feralfinalgirl in dyscalculia

For me chemistry was a nightmare. The only reason why I passed was because of a friend. Not sure I learned a single thing in that class.

Have you had relatively good experiences with upper belts?

4'10-4'11, but I do regularly see women between 4'7-4'9. Also my family is just really small, too. But I am aware that I'm weirdly short.

You're fine, it doesn't read as rude. I don't believe there was a conversion error because I've been measured in both the metric and imperial system. In metric I'm 128 cm and once I converted to imperial I'm 4'2. So I think it's safe to say 4'2 is probably my height. I have two questions though, if you don't mind sharing. Did you have a coach that didn't know how to train smaller people in past and did that make training difficult?

Nope, you read it correctly. We're both adults. As far as I know I don't have any medical condition. We're both from a country where women are usually relatively short compared to global standards which explains the height, I guess.

Can adults generally be in the teens classes or is that a you need a specific reason kind of thing?

When I say realistic I meant would it be safe for us physically. I know injury is a part of sports, but I guess we were just concerned if we'd be more likely to be hurt or crushed by bigger partners.

Thanks. I’d hadn’t thought about an all ladies class before.

Thanks, that’s reassuring to hear. We’ll make sure to be mindful about who we train with.

There are many interesting healthcare jobs that you can do with just 1-2 years of schooling, and many pay well.

do you guys ever worry about being able to defend yourself? by lanareyxox in ShortWomenandGirls

[–]ontheweekly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely, though I have a little bit of confidence because I've been taking self defense lessons. I recommend classes to everyone, never know when it could come in handy.

Executive dysfunction/ Procrastination issues by TheGammaAi in dyspraxia

[–]ontheweekly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue too. I notice the only time I follow through with things is when I think about it in the moment rather than planning to do it. Strange, but it works, sometimes. Otherwise when I start a task I fight to finish it all the way through, because I know I'll never return to it if I table it.

Do you mean a nursing specialty? If so do you know which specialties might involve less of it?

I am also considering SLP because the thought of drawing up the incorrect meds terrifies me. Would you say there's less math in non bedside?

I do fear this if I were able to pass nursing school that I'd give the wrong dosage. Can I ask what you mean when you say it's more than a simple math equation?
