In Mr. Lee's class there is this little girl. She is so smart, just needs things explained to her more then most students. I get to help her mostly everyday I am there and help her understand what she needs to be doing and then she has it perfect. She is so smart and she is going to do great things.
Teachers have to do a lot of things for their students and they can get very overwhelmed and not be able to get it done or just get to the point that they don't want to do it. They will need help along the way. It is good for teacher to have initiative so that they can push each other to do their best and to push through and it's also nice when someone overs to help because then weigh gets lifted off of you and you are in such a better mindset to get things done.
