grammar? did answer the question? and suggestions?
This is due today, i appreciate ur help.
Being a minority, my family has been discriminated against and treated unfairly in the past. The most recent situation I recall is at an airport. We were coming back to the U.S. from a trip to India, and because of a delayed flight our next flight was transferred to the Heathrow airport in London. We waited about 30 minutes in line, waiting to board the plane. When we finally reached the desk, the attendant checked all of our tickets, but when she checked my sister's, who has Down Syndrome, ticket, she put it aside and made a waving motion with her hand, to two tall men in black suits standing a few feet behind her, to come over here. At first we only thought my sister must have had a mistake on her ticket, but instead the two men escorted my whole family to the side and told us to go down stairs. When we reached the lower floor, there were more security people waiting for us. They told us that they need to do an extra security check on my 8 year old disabled sister. She was required to take off the shoes and then a full body pat-down was done on her.
I felt very offended by the airport security's actions. I believe the situation happened because we look of Middle Eastern decent and my mother was speaking in a different language to my father. The security thought we were using my sister to hide something harmful. This thought is absurd!
In this situation, there was nothing to do but cooperate with the airport security. Yes, I believe the situation did improve as a result of our response. If we tried to question the airports actions, they would have caused us more trouble.

Undergraduate / "a new love for math" - subjects in which you excel or have excelled. [3]
Discuss the subjects in which you excel or have excelled. To what factors do you attribute your success?
This is due today, so i would really appreciate the help.
any grammar errors? what else should I write? Did i answer the question right?
My curiosity and desire to excel at new things have helped me develop a new love for math.
I was first introduced to algebra in middle school. I remember hearing rumors from the eight graders about the difficulty and daily homework in algebra class. Little did I know, I would actually loving algebra in the future. A great part of the reason why I love algebra is because; math is like a puzzle. Sudoku is a good example. To find the next number the previous number needs to be known. In math, previous concepts need to be known in order to solve the next problem. I believe math is not about just finding the correct answer, but the process of discovering.
