It was a dark night I felt like I was in a cave without any ray of light, I heard many scary sound coming out of the backyard was just me and nature. My phone rang for five second, I stop watching the soccer game, was friend Maoly. I could hear from her low and shy voice that she was despair. Maoly was in another school but we were really good friends. After of talking for a while she ask me if I could did something to help her. She wanted me to explain math to her. I said yes, but I ask her Why now we’re on summer?. She said I didn’t pass math this year! gotta do recovery.
The next day I was in her home, my father was a really good friend of her father so didn’t have problems going. When a enter into the little study room that they had I was really impressed. She was drooling over the desk, I did only one thing wait for her to wake up. I spend two hours browsing the big orange book of Algebra 1. I was so lucky because I was really good at it. When she finally wake up I said hi to her I haven’t seen her for 3 months so we were happy. I have already three hours waste in nothing. I ask her what was the problem and she answered “Soy una roca” she said.
Her face looked like an very old and acid limon, with her eyes leading me to the exam that she took, it has little draws and words that had nothing to do with math. After the sun light show up I was in Maoly’s house, the principal door was like the fancy doors from a palace, I saw the big with drool coming out of his huge mouth so big that he could destroy my arm with one bite and his enormous hands and ears. I run inside to avoid the dog, I said Hi to the family and then start the lesson with Maoly After explaining her how we solve different problems she took her phone to text and literally she forgot all of what I said.
I didn’t want to be rude but I take off her phone, I never imagine what was gonna happen next. She got so mad at me start to crying and screaming, the steps sound of her mom were like a woodpecker pecking a tree with her really big heels. I explain to her what happened she was agree with me but Maoly was really mad. Two weeks after I call her mom to see how Maoly did on the exam, -“she fail again her” mom tell me with disconsolately voice through the phone that means that she had only one opportunity to pass the year.
I felt really upset was my fault because I didn’t have the chance to help her, so that day I went to her home to give my apologizes she accepted I said to her now is the real exam. After that I spend 7 hours each day during one and a half month teaching her. I eat in her house, I play with her dog, I went with her family to eat something out in many times, They became like my second family. The day of the exam Maoly’s hands were sweating she was biting her nails and walking around when she step inside the classroom I was undecided if she could do it or not.
That exam was going to determined if she pass to tenth grade or not. The exam took 2 hours it felt like it was 12 hours. Maoly came out of the corner classroom almost crying it was a dark room, there were only five students in the classroom. The teacher was tall but something about him catch my attention really quickly while he was closing the door, his little feets were really weird. There were no sound at all, nobody was talking or making noise only the old clock at the wall. Maoly’s face said it all she forgot everything.
I felt really bad we wait for the results I remember perfectly when the tall teacher with a big glasses from the 80’s said she fail. She started to crying her tears turn into a river but the Tall teacher came again and he said she passed I made a mistake. One sensation came to me was really good I realize how I help her and how I change her life to never give up and how to be perseverant. I DISCOVERED THAT IF I HELP OTHER PEOPLE TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS THAT ACTION AND IT MADE ME A BETTER PERSON. I rather help other people because if I would be on a situation like that I would like someone to help me.
