Math Class in Upward Bound

I have always been pretty good at Math but, the math teacher in Upward Bound has helped me more in a short then my own math teacher at school. He makes it easier to understand, by allowing us to do different activities. He even lets us be the teacher sometimes. Now, we are putting everything that we learned in math into a project that is own our life expierences.

Are good in Math?

If so, do you tutor others?

 If your not at math how do you recieve help?

Expanding My Vocabulary in Literature

One of my summer classes in Upward Bound is literature and it is helping me to expand my vocabulary. I believe that I am a good writer but I always had difficulties to find new words to use to replace common words that I am normally use. This class has introduced possible words that can be on the SAT. I am very appreciative about this class now that the teacher is giving us activities to help us actually to know how to use the word. I mean just because we get the definition that doesn't that I know how to use the word or that I complete understand of the word. I think this class should be more of a vocabulary class than a literature class, but at least the teacher is trying to do a little bit of both.

What challenges do you have in writing?

Have you taken or are you taking classes to help you with that issue?

Do you any advice for me, so that I can improve my writing?
