I can not forget my intermediate math teacher. He taught me for four years and I want to admit that I learned nothing those years. I was really struggling with mathematics and barely passed every year. That teacher was rude and inconsiderate. He only liked good students and forgot about the rest. We were scared to ask questions because if it was not up to his expectations he would make fun of you. The best thing for me to do was to stay invisible at the end of the classroom. I hated mathematics and hated mathematics classrooms. But what happened in grade 10 was not expected at all. A new teacher came to school and he was teaching our grade. His approach was the complete opposite and I actually started to get interested in mathematics to the extent that I planned to cover for the four lost years on my own. It took a lot of effort and hard work but I graduated with the highest mark in math 12 class. My passion for mathematics did not stop there. I finished my bachelor degree in mathematics and my master’s degree in math education and the plan is to become a teacher of mathematics and make a difference.
