Just finished a question and answer session with the student government of Mary Help. It was nice to see young students taking leadership positions at their school and set good examples for their peers. The students described their goals in life, their career aspirations, their teachers, classes, and school, and asked a lot of good questions.
A question that I really enjoyed answering was when one student asked "Why did you choose to teach math?" Many Filipino students have the same math anxiety as American students, and they couldnt understand why anyone would want to be a math teacher. I explained that I see math everywhere in life, that math fluency and literacy is an essential skill no matter what vocation you choose, and math can even be fun if you change your perspective!
