Re-take

I failed Math 119 my first semester at BYU. It was very devastating. I go from being a 4.0 student to completely failing a class. I took the class is the Jesse Knight Building on campus- a seemingly heartless place that is very difficult to navigate. The professor, who's name I purposefully forgot a long time ago I still can't remember, and would rather not. He was a cold and stern old man who had a gut and a thick mustache. He made students cry on several occasions because of his belittling tactics and was always a master at making himself appear much smarter and better than all of his impotent students.

Two years later, I'm back in the same room of the same building I had it to begin with. I start to get nauseous as I climb the stairs up to the classroom. I sit down to discover a long lost friend is in the class with me. I was thrilled! I don't have to be here alone, and she can help distract me from the painful memories of the class.

My teacher walks in. She is a sweet southern lady who is very beautiful and tall. She could have been a basketball player in her earlier years. As the class went on, I felt like most of the material clicked in my head. I understood her teaching- for the first time in my life from a math teacher!!!

Needless to say, I am so thrilled and thankful that I am retaking calculus from such an awesome teacher!!! Maybe I can pull a C?
