In the 3rd<\/sup> Grade I ran away from Puohala Elementary School in Kaneohe, Hawaii because I could not figure out fractions.\u00a0 It created quite the stir in our small community. Ever since then, mathematics has been a tender academic point for me.\u00a0 I have taken every math class twice (up to calculus) since that traumatic time in elementary school. Most of the information has been flushed in the toilet of my mind.\u00a0\u00a0Sadly a statistics class seemed an academic bridge too far, but as far as I knew, it was the gate barring access to any doctoral program.\u00a0 Then came DLGP.\u00a0 Thank you Portland Seminary!<\/p>\n

Why the quiz some of you might wonder?\u00a0 Well, the seven questions listed above are just the tip of the iceberg for the flood of statistics that I will go through towards my immigration NPO. Lots of statistics, none of them match. I enjoyed Chivers\u2019 book.\u00a0 His voice echoed a comment an old Army instructor said, \u201cnumbers lie.\u201d\u00a0 This morning at a men\u2019s bible study, the worship leader commented that \u201cFigures lie, and liars figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEasy to read\u201d, unlike the academic works of the threshold book, made this subject almost fun to delve into.\u00a0 Chiver\u2019s tidbits at the end of his book held nuggets of wisdom for me as I begin to delve into the large array of numbers that are sharks swimming around the bloody topic of immigration. \u00a0My top 5 take aways that were new to me.<\/p>\n
