May 2005: Nalene Boss

“My name is Nalene Boss and I teach math at Heritage Christian Schools Junior High.

I like teaching math because when they understand the concept you can tell immediately and there’s this immediate gratification that’s like the light goes on.

Algebra is such an abstract subject, but math relates to everyday life in so many ways; you use it to measure, you use it to do so many different things; and it’s such an important subject.

School is the most important priority that kids should have; it should be there number one priority.

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher; I love working with kids; I love kids that come back in later years who let me know where they’re at in their lives and how successful they are and it’s just..it’s so gratifying.

Get as much education as you possibly can, it will always hold you in good stead.”
