I feel brave

I've made the decision to apply myself and attempt to learn electronics. I have no prior knowledge other than a few beginners sites I've read a few years back.

I was never good at math so I always doubted my abilities to learn something like this. It always seemed overwhelming, I would never know where to start.

I just ordered my first starter kit from sparkfun to go along with their lectures. Does anyone here have any thoughts about them? Are they effective learning tools?

With a lot of effort, and hopefully a lot of community support if need be, I can conquer my inhibitions and learn this. I've wanted to since middle school (I'm 23 now).

Nice to meet you all. Lets learn together?

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy your stay. What kit did you get?

Thank you, I feel that I will probably be spending a lot of time here.

Lets see...Going to sparkfun now to find the links for you.

I will be following along with these lectures, which suggests getting this kit to follow along with. It seems each lecture has its own corresponding kit, which I wouldn't mind buying to accrue parts and knowledge.

Blue, I see you have a website. I am checking it out now!
