This year will be both exciting and challenging, filled with opportunities for growth and learning. As a student, you’ll be asked to think deeply, critically, and consistently—and I’ll often remind you to “trust your gut.” You’ll also be expected to apply the concepts and skills you’ve built in previous math courses. While I’ll be here to support you at the first signs of difficulty, your success ultimately depends on the effort you put in. Be proactive: reach out when you need help, take the time to fully understand each topic, and stay engaged in the process.
