...difference between a cation and anion. Frustrated and desperate for help, I asked my fellow classmates, who responded with nothing but an empty stare. I dreaded 3rd hour of the school day, everyday, only because I did not understand chemistry.

Fast-forwarding to college, I fully understand what positive and negatively...
