      I didn’t like when I was forced to study religion at school but basically because they were teaching just Catholicism. I think if they were teaching all the religions, I would have enjoyed more.

      I found Irish pretty difficult because I wasn’t very good at languages. I’m still trying to get better at Gaeilge though. I even have a book on computing written entirely in Irish that I am trying to read at the moment:

      I did not like chemistry. I think it was to abstract for me – I couldn’t grasp the idea why some elements will react and why some won’t. Although, now that I think of it, it is very mathematical and logical.
      However, I would love in chemistry classes when the teacher would show us some experiment. I remember once he dipped a very small piece of sodium (which is a metal) in water and then — wooow — it caught fire, inside the water. That was pretty cool!

    Religion is ok so far for me but irish is also difficult for me but i do not really see a point about learning it but i would be nice to learn my country’s language.

    There are a lot of reasons for learning Irish, but some of the top ones for me are:
    1. I have friends who are fluent in Irish and speak to each other in that language, but it is hard for me to follow them
    2. Learning a language other than English is never a bad thing, and it makes it easier to pick up a third or fourth language
    3. There are jobs in translating official documents into Irish as that is a legal requirement in this country
    4. In fact, speaking Irish is a requirement for certain jobs in this country (mostly political positions).
    5. It’s part of our culture and we really should try to keep it alive

    I struggled with Irish in school, but I really, really recommend learning it. Everyone I know who speaks Irish is really proud of their ability with the language and I want to learn to be that good too.
