When I was in seventh grade I was in honors algebra. Among my classmates was an autistic boy named Kevin. Kevin was very good at math, but had a lot of problems understanding assignments and working in groups with other classmates. My teacher came to me one day and asked me how I would feel about being a peer helper for Kevin because I was very involved in the class and she knew I helped Kevin anyway. I was more than willing to be Kevin’s peer helper. I ended up being his peer helper for the next two years.

Worst Educational Experience
When I was a sophomore, in high school, I was in honors pre-calculus. The teacher I had for this class was very rude and extremely good at making me feel unintelligent. One day in class I asked a question about something we were learning. My teacher yelled at me, in front of all my peers, and told me that my question was stupid and made no sense. My teacher also told me that the lesson was easy and I should have understood it. I left the room crying and have had problems asking questions in the classroom ever since.
