Bringing it back to my Roots.

Growing up I always struggled in school. I always needed extra help in math and it always took more time for me to understand things. I almost failed math a couple of times. My Grandma taught me different ways of doing math like touch points and doing the nine times table on your fingers. It was not until I got to college that I took matters into my own hands. I was the flash card Queen. I do not think that I could have passed German without the million flash card that I made. I made the Deans List, which is a really big deal because I worked SO hard. Anyways, this is not to brag but it is to thank God for those opportunities to struggle and learn in different ways.

In India they only teach in "black and white". I bring color to the kids that are struggling. I am able to teach them different ways of learning so that they will be able to understand. There are 35 kids in a class. Most of them are really naughty. They are being taught in English, but go home to parents that only speak Hindi. I feel so bad for them. One of my boys, Thapa, can not add and he is in third grade. We just finished exams and the boys did really well with all the colorful flash cards that I made them. I am working really hard to help these students. It is really cool to see how excited the kids get when they are finally able to understand.

Thank you Grandma, Mrs. Pool, and my Dad for being so patient with me.
