It is so strange to see how my nephew, Patrick, has grown and matured through out the years. Hard to believe that he will be graduating from high school next year and will be going to college on from there. He is a good kid and I think that he will go far in this world and that he will contribute to society in many positive ways.
He is way past the point that I can be of any help with much of his school work and projects as I was when he was younger. We live so close to each other that we spent a lot of time together and I seemed to come over a lot of the times when he was working on his school work. I’ve never been all that much help in the math area though. Numbers and I just don’t get along all that well, I gotten used to it and always have a calculator close at hand for when I need it.
Patrick is now well into Equivalent fractions and Prime Factorization, which are totally above my head. I’m still trying to figure out what a Probability calculator is all about. Thank goodness for online tutoring, it has saved his butt on more than one occasion. Wish that we had the Internet when I was struggling with school.
