I started middle school this year, and this caused some painful changes for me. All of my closest friends go to different middle schools in the area. The only classmate I know from my old school is Jake, who's talented in math, but since it's not my favorite subject, we never became friends.

Another big change is that my new teachers set a lot of homework, especially in math. So you can imagine why my heart wasn't exactly dancing when I started middle school.

By the end of October, Jake and I had become good friends. It happened because I was so hopeless trying to do my math homework. One day, I came to Jake after school.

“Hey, Jake, ”I began, "I was wondering if you could."

“Help you with the math homework, right?" he said, completing my sentence. "Sure, I'd be happy to help you, Miguel.” I was surprised because, to be truthful, I wasn't sure until that moment if Jake even knew my name. And yet here he was happy to save me from drowning in my sea of math problems.

That night, Jake and I studied together, and it was time well spent. I must say that Jake is an excellent math teacher.

The next day in class, I was even able to answer one of the math problems. Our teacher was surprised when I raised my hand, and guess what-so was I!

They say time flies when you're having fun, and I guess it's really true. I can't believe winter vacation is almost here! The school days have been flying by like a jet plane. I suppose it's because I'm a much more focused student-especially in math-than I ever was before.

Jake and I plan to hang out together during winter break. He promised to show me the Math Museum downtown. I believe it will be an unforgettable experience for us.
