What do you notice?
One thing I noticed was how Exigent really cares about improving the math skills of every student and pushing students to learn challenging stuff and cares about making sure everyone gets something out of this program and making sure everyone gets out of their comfort zone."

Be curious, what do you wonder?
I have wondered what it takes to teach a class and get people together to learn. Because back at school I need to teach students how to do certain drill commands and how to call them. Sometimes it's really difficult for me to teach because I don't know if they understand what I'm saying. I wonder how exigent keeps their morale and gets students invested."

What number most closely matches your personality and why?
I think 4 because I feel like it's a good/heavenly number it reminds me of why I'm here and my mother who I'd like to make proud."

What "counts" as math? Why?
I feel like this is a trick question, it's like saying: "What "counts" as art?" I would think though that math is anything that essentially make you think. Not just any type of thinking though but thinking in a way that is related to numbers and how they can help solve a problem that doesn't necessarily have to do with math."

Are odd numbers really "odd"? Why?
I think odd numbers aren't odd at all because they are numbers just like the even numbers and you can't really decide if a number is odd. Numbers can't be titled just bc of how thy look."
