Buddy Teacher

My principal gave me the honor to be a "Buddy Teacher" for one of the new math teachers. This "new" teacher was actually the valedictorian of her class at our high school some years ago. Also, she has already taught at LAUSD before. She is very bright and enthusiastic. Frankly, she doesn't need me much at all. I recall the difficulties that I faced during my first year and how thankful I was for Mr. Mulfinger's support. I must have gone into his room to whine each day during the entire first semester. Yet, he stayed positive and encouraged me each time. I hope to stay positive as the year progresses and maybe, just maybe, someday I can be like Mr. Mulfinger or my current department chair Ms. Kwak.
