Throughout my school career, I have never found maths particularly easy. After my first grade 8 test, I decided I did not like maths and it was not my strength. I found myself going into every test and doubting my ability. In Grade 11 I got Mrs Friedman as a teacher and from that day on my belief in myself started growing exponentially. She made me realize that doubting myself was counter productive. Mrs Friedman taught us not to overcomplicate everything and to trust in her and her process. She was always available after school as well as after hours when I needed. This indicates her complete and unwavering devotion to her pupils. Mrs Friedman created a fun and productive environment for every lesson. Mrs Friedman assured me that I had the ability to do well and just needed to persevere and continue to put in the effort needed. I am forever grateful for having Mrs Friedman as a teacher
