First Impressions: Meeting Sir Justin and the Math Squad

Thursday, August 23, 2018, was my first scheduled visit to the school where I would be teaching.

My mentor is Sir Justin, and he will be guiding me throughout my teaching practice at the PSU Integrated Schools – High School Department.

During our meeting, he assigned me to Grade 9 and informed me that my primary topic would be quadratic equations. He then asked me to begin preparing my lesson plans. Sir Justin also introduced me to the PSU Mathematics students who would serve as my buddies and team members. They are Steffi, Alma, Elly, Lenard, Glen, Mark, Louie, and Frederick.

They are all so kind, and I feel very lucky to have met them. They even accompanied me to the photocopy shop and later showed me the way back to the dormitory. In the evening, our "Papa" from Thailand, Papa Yo, cooked Tom Yum for us.

It was absolutely delicious! Thank you, Papa. Our Papa is so cool, handsome, and an amazing cook! Haha.
