During this school year, I had Mr. Polen as my math teacher. Sure I learned new things about math but I learned more important things other than math. I got thought how to be kind even if you are going through something I got thought that one mistake or many mistakes don’t define you at all because you can make them up and learn from them because that’s what life is about; making mistakes because even if you try to prevent them they are going to happen anyway like it or not. Mr. Polen has been influential this year to show me not to take life so seriously either because in the long run if people don’t like you for you why should you try to please them anyway? I'll tell you why and that’s because you shouldn't because then they aren’t worth your time if they don’t see the true beauty within you.
Through this class it was more than learning about math for me I went into the class saying this is just another credit I need nothing won’t happen it won’t change me anyway but surprisingly it did because Mr. Polen has something about him where people just want to gravitate to him a know him and learn more about him and one day I hope I can be just a little bit like him because he doesn’t even realize how he changes others lives without even trying because that’s just the type of person he is and it is amazing.
