I have never learned as much math in my life as I did last year. It was because of Ms. Vaciran 36 I truly understood what I was learning. It might not seem 37 A big deal to some, but to me it is. I have never met a woman so caring and so determined to teach her 38 .
I never really wanted to work for good 39 in math class. I never knew how to study math and never understood some of the concepts. I can remember trying to sneak out of the classroom 40 Ms. Vacirce caught me and yelled across the 41, “Lauren, are you coming to extra help during lunch?” It was a nightmare –she would always 42 me with one foot out of the door, it never 43 Even then I just thought of it as a thing I HAD to do.

I knew that I would 55 her.
