I for one love science, but don't have anywhere near the same feelings for math. I didn't have any issues with math until my very scary (Addams Family Lurch-like, but without the personality...lol!) high school, freshman algebra teacher who would belittle anyone that asked a question about something he felt he had already explained (actually he belittled anyone that asked a question at all). He gave oral tests where he would read the problem in his monotone style and we had to write it out. You had to make sure you got it written down the first time because you didn't want to be the one raising your hand to ask him to repeat it. Back then our school wasn't air conditioned and his class was on the top floor. We had fans going, but that didn't help the heat and it actually made it harder to hear him. Needless to say, his style of teaching was not conducive to my learning and I ended up with my first C ever and I despised math after that. I had no desire to take another math class ever again, but I had to take college algebra and struggled through college physics, just so I could minor in a science.
My DD9 is good at math and her gifted teacher agrees, but she has no desire to push herself and claims she doesn't like math at all. I'm hoping for what some others have posted - in that she will come around when the math gets more involved and interesting, but I'm not holding my breath.
