Geometry Anyone?

(All students have been given different names to protect their identity)


Geometry.  My first phone call from my tutoring supervisor had beckoned me to tutor a sophomore at a local high school.  I was given the background of student and read his profile online.  Juan Milan’s family had moved to Idaho from California to circumvent potential problems they had seen with his peers in school.  Their story was already gripping to me as Juanita and Thomas had left California with no job prospects in the local area but just an extreme will to succeed for their son’s future.  I accepted the tutor job and began a year of tutoring that turned more-or-less into mentoring.
