also i have gotten quite good at lacrosse and throwing shot put (10 kg ball for track). andrew is great at teaching me lacrosse. i love pre-calc a lot this year, it’s so much fun with a teacher who is quite laid-back and takes time to make her students truly appreciate math. yesterday, the whole ap english class worked on the ap terms for the ap test and andrew was teaching me all these cool things on the graphing calculator and the computer. even though we compete at times, there isn’t a guy who shares the same love i have for science, nature, first aid and working out. dave is also very much like andrew and has a great sense of humor and often helps me with physics honors. both of them are quite open-minded and easy to talk to and laid-back. i find that i can be myself around them and that they make me feel more confident about myself. i think being around them both has made me become even better at science. i think i am becoming more and more like them.
