"Conquering math is hard, but with the right motivation and people in your corner we can all do it, and it's a great passion of mine to help students in similar situations overcome difficult courses like math to continue to pursue their goals!"
"Not all accomplishments and goals need to be validated or approved by figures of authority. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty with ideas or initiatives even if you can't get academic credit for it."
"I want students to know that I prioritize process over result! It's great when my students reach their academic goals, but it's even more rewarding to see them gain confidence in their skills as we work together."
"Prioritize trying new things. In high school I focused a lot on studying and getting good grades; I often neglected extracurriculars and hobbies I enjoyed! My biggest regret in high school was skipping concert band ensemble to study for my other classes."
"If I could talk to my younger self in highschool, I would tell him to stop just trying to fly under the radar and to just put himself out there and really get involved with the school!"

"It is better to have tried something out and failed instead of never attempting it in the first place. If you fail you still learn something and can use that knowledge later on in life."
Most of the things you do in life, with some small exceptions, should be done for their own sake - or at least contain some aspect worth doing for its own sake; this will save you from putting yourself into situations that make you doubt yourself and who you are.

"You'll enjoy university much more than high school."
