Scholarship / Math and history. Each of these subjects happen to be my favorite. [4]

Discuss the subjects in which you excel or have excelled. To what factors do you attribute your success?

Can I have some feedback on what I have written so far? Here is what I have:

The subjects I have excelled in the most are math and history. Each of these subjects happen to be my favorite, which I think contributes to how much I have succeeded in them. I work hard and pay close attention to what I am being taught, and I make sure that I take the knowledge I have learned and apply it to my assignment that I have been given. My teachers that I have also have contributed to the success I have had in these subjects. Whenever I needed help with anything they would do so and that helped immensely. I choose to ask questions rather than sit quiet and struggle. Talking specifically in math I always thought that I could only excel in math only if the lesson were being taught, but my 11th grade Algebra II teacher, Mr. Zimmerman taught me that I am more than capable of teaching myself how to do the specific work that I am assigned. This helped me feel more accomplished in my work and what I want to excel in.
